The technical reason: Function that are not marked as interactive won't show up in M-x. See the the docstring of interactive and the elisp manual for details. Why wasn't it marked interactive [note, I'm speculating here]? It's unlikely that you could want or should to run org-element-interpret-data with "hand-written" input. The org-element form becomes quite long (check org-element-at-point on your favorite element). In any case, when you need it just do M-:. > BTW, how would I run org-element-interpret-data and have it just place the > output directly into my buffer without placing it in the #+RESULTS: output > format?

If I'm wrong Nick D will surely chim in with the correct answer. Rasmus -- May contains speling mistake
