No matter if I use print, princ, prin1, (format "%s" ....) or (format "%S" ...) to get the parse-tree in textual form, with or without setting (print-circle nil), there are always errors. E.g. given file tmp.org: ,------------------- | #+options: toc:nil | * A | B `------------------- #+begin_src emacs-lisp (with-current-buffer "tmp.org" (org-element-interpret-data (org-element-parse-buffer))) #+end_src yields: ,-------------------- | "#+OPTIONS: toc:nil | * A | B | " `-------------------- but, e.g., this #+begin_src emacs-lisp (with-current-buffer "tmp.org" (print (org-element-parse-buffer))) #+end_src yields: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (org-data nil (section (:begin 1 :end 20 :contents-begin 1 :contents-end 20 :post-blank 0 :parent #0) (keyword (:key "OPTIONS" :value "toc:nil" :begin 1 :end 20 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 1 :parent #1))) (headline (:raw-value "A" :begin 20 :end 26 :pre-blank 0 :hiddenp nil :contents-begin 24 :contents-end 26 :level 1 :priority nil :tags nil :todo-keyword nil :todo-type nil :post-blank 0 :footnote-section-p nil :archivedp nil :commentedp nil :quotedp nil :CATEGORY nil :title (#("A" 0 1 (:parent #1))) :parent #0) (section (:begin 24 :end 26 :contents-begin 24 :contents-end 26 :post-blank 0 :parent #1) (paragraph (:begin 24 :end 26 :contents-begin 24 :contents-end 26 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 24 :parent #2) #("B" 0 2 (:parent #3)))))) #+end_src what can't be used with 'org-element-interpret-data. -- cheers, Thorsten
