Hello,

I have written an elisp program to generate an ATOM feed from an
org-mode file.  I want to generate appropiate HTML from fromatted text
(such as *bold* and /italic/).  Since it does not use org's export
module (for which this isn't really appropriate anyway), I have no
idea if there is any way I can use existing org functions to parse a
paragraph to recognise formatted text so I can process it
appropriately, or if I must write my own parsing code.  Can any of the
more experienced org-mode hackers offer any advice?

Thanks,
Aidan Gauland
