Thanks! Here is what I am currently using:
(defun canvas-org-get-heading-body ()
"Return the body of the current heading up to the next heading."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(unless (org-at-heading-p)
(org-previous-visible-heading 1))
(org-end-of-meta-data)
(buffer-substring (point)
(progn (re-search-forward org-heading-regexp nil 'mv)
(line-beginning-position)))))
So far it gets what I want. I am pretty sure I have reinvented this,
maybe even from code I wrote before... I couldn't find my answer on SO
or my blog though.
