"deep" export to email (or copy-paste)

[berteh]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
exporting some portion of Org to anothe app is tedious in Organice on desktop. I would like to be able to copy-paste multiple nodes (headers) at once.

Describe the solution you'd like
Some nice feature would be a "deep" export to clipboard (or extending current "export to email"): if the node is collapsed "copy/export" only its header, if node is expanded "copy/export" its title, description, notes and children nodes recursively to clipboard. export format would be simple (rich) HTML if possible, ORG otherwise.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Nowadays i open the Org file in Sublime, then copy-paste manually.

Sure, it is possible to do so. We already have email export functionality, but it's scoped to the current headline. Changing the current logic to recursive export will give you the nested headlines.

Note, your proposed feature is a subset of this ticket: #142

Exporting to HTML is a separate topic - the implementation of the organice org mode parser has no functionality to export to HTML. There is always an option to get another dependency, but I'd personally be careful to add it.

Are you interested in working on your proposed issue?

[berteh]

I could look into it. No promises yet as I don't have much time at the moment... but really need the feature ;)
Would start with deep export to text/raw only first. But I don't have an easy way to deploy a dev server.

Is there any easy option for online editing code and running a fork ?

I saw some hints for exporting other elements in method below. Which ones should I export or not ? token/propertie/tags/schedule ?

organice/src/components/OrgFile/components/Header/index.js

Line 274 in 7a1949c

handleShareHeaderClick() {

What is the recommended way/methods to traverse children headers ?

As for (maybe, afterwards) HTML export:

• What would be your recommended way to convert orgmode > html without writing a parser from scratch ?
• What would be the best way to generate an email with both rich html body and raw text body (for client compatibility) ?

Here's the documentation on how to develop on organice:

What is the recommended way/methods to traverse children headers ?

Using ImmutableJS.

What would be your recommended way to convert orgmode > html without writing a parser from scratch ?

Nothing that I'm aware of. We're in the process of writing such a parser (https://github.com/200ok-ch/org-parser), but it's not ready, yet.

What would be the best way to generate an email with both rich html body and raw text body (for client compatibility) ?

Dunno.

I have created a PR with the necessary boilerplate: #939

Hello, is there any update on this? I see the pull request still has some tests which have not completed yet.
I think this feature is a must for being able to share work with people

@gamberoillecito Happy to hear you think this is a must feature! You are welcome to continue working off the boilerplate that I have created for people wanting this feature. I'll be happy to help with testing and documentation, as well. Would you like the ticket assigned to you?

[gamberoillecito]

Hello, thank you for your reply, at the moment I'm quite busy and most importantly I have very little experience. Could you point me in the right direction so that I can see if this is something I can tackle?
