Re: [O] HTML --> Org-mode?

[Matt Price]

Thank you Willem,

This looks very helpful.

I am trying the code out in a scratch buffer and I am unable to gnerate org syntax, e.g. with this test string:

(h-2-o-insert-org-source-for-html  "<p><a href="" href="http://example.org/\">http://example.org/\">hello</a> <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">world<br/> foo</span></p>" )

Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks,
Matt

Not sure if this helps, but I recently hacked some code to convert a
simple subset of HTML to org.   It is quite hackish and not nearly
finished (and I might never finish).

However it is pure elisp.

Code is at:

http://github.com/woudshoo/html-2-org

Usage is:

 (h-2-o-insert-org-source-for-html HTML-STRING)

which inserts a org blob in the current buffer at point.
