Bastien has been quite busy lately, and I am not sure how this will
develop in the future.
The "new export engine" as far as I can see, is so far mostly a parser
that converts an Org file into a structured hierarchy of property lists
that give access to the entire content as well as all the meta data
like tags, todo state, deadline date etc etc.
I have pulled out org-export.el from the branch and placed a copy into
the EXPERIMENTAL subdirectory of the master branch.
Bastien, I fixed a bug which had to do with narrowing in a recursive
procedure - the old restriction needs to be remembered. Also, I
implemented a function that will remove the meta data (most of it
anyway) from the content string, so maybe this is a useful thing? It
is a separate function, so easily removed again.
Looking at org-export.el, Bastien also planed to have filter
functions, and then backend that will write the structure back to a
file - I don't know how much of this works.
Christian, you could simply experiment with the return value of org-
export-parse.
