Hi List,
when writing an exporter backend, I wonder what is the canonical way to
extract the (optional) timestamp element from a headline's :title
attribute (which holds a secondary string)?
I could do something like this to extract the timestamp from the headline
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((ttl (org-element-property :title headline)))
(and (> (length ttl) 1)
(car (last ttl))))
#+end_src
but I hope there is a more straight-forward and reliable way to do this?

cheers,
Thorsten

You can map over a secondary string. E.g.:
(org-element-map (org-element-property :title headline) 'timestamp
'identity)

I knew there must be a better way to do this - thanks for the tip!
