Previous: Global Parsing Functions, Up: Org Parser [Index]
Local parsing gives information about the structure at point.
The first move is to implement a way to obtain the smallest element containing point.
org-element-at-point
It basically jumps back to the beginning of section containing point and proceed, one element
after the other, with org-element--current-element
until the container is found. When using
‘org-element-at-point’, secondary values are never parsed since the function focuses on elements,
not on objects.
At a deeper level, org-element-context
lists all elements and objects containing point.
org-element-nested-p
and org-element-swap-A-B
may be used internally by navigation and
manipulation tools.
