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

Hi Aidan,
You could pass the text through the `org-export-string' function to
generate a string of HTML from a string of Org markup.
e.g.
(org-export-string "plain plain *bold* plain" "html")
returns the following string
"<p>plain plain <b>bold</b> plain</p>"

Thanks! That's just what I was looking for!

Actually, now that I've tried that, I'm getting prompted for a
filename when I evaluate that.
Evaluating (org-export-string "plain plain *bold* plain" "html")
prompts me (in the minibuffer) with...
File to save in: /tmp/
I can't see any obvious s-exp in the definition of org-export-string
that would be bringing up the prompt. Aside from the prompt, this
function is exactly what I want. Any idea how I could get rid of the
prompt so I can run the function non-interactively?
