I know this is kind of an org-mode 101 question, sorry, but after searching docs for a couple of days, I could use a pointer. I want to write a function in a code block in python or perl that steps through lines of text and does some complicated reformatting, adding in html bits and such, for a specialized application. Then I want to be able paste a block of text into an org-mode file and call this function to walk through it and do it&#39;s stuff, sending the result to an export buffer.<br>
<br>What&#39;s the best way to do that, specifically, what should I do with the text to be processed? Put it all under a single headline and call the function against that headline? Put it within some sort of begin/end markers? I need the python or whatever script to be able to step through one line at a time maybe using it&#39;s usual text input functions.<br>
