Org-mode Import/Export Tools
This page lists the various conversion tools that have been written to export Org-mode data and import external data into the Org-mode system.
Org-mode Export Tools
- From Org-mode to Drupal by David Arroyo Menéndez.
- From Org-mode to Freemind by Marco Vezzoli, this is available in the contrib directory of the distribution.
- From Org-mode to ICalendar applications:
- there are an export tool already implemented in org mode, is explained at the org manual.
- For Google users, read this tutorial.
Org-mode Import Tools
- From Palm TODO database to Orgmode. This Translator was written by Olaf Dietsche.
- From Remind to Org by Detlef Steuer.
- From OmniFocus to Org by Magnus Henoch.
From TaskPaper to Org by Carsten Dominik. A quite complete translation can be achieved by a compact Perl program:
#!/usr/bin/perl /^(\t*)-(.*?)((@\w+ *)*)$/; @u=grep{$_ ne'@done'}(@t=split/ +/,$3); @v=@u?('',@u,''):(); $t{$_}++for@u; $_="*"x(2+length$1).(@t==@u?" TODO":" DONE").$2.join(":",@v)."\n"if$&; s/^\w.*:\s*$/* $&/; END{printf "* Setup\n#+TAGS: %s\n",join' ',keys%t}
This program is quite unreadable because it resulted from a contest for the most compact translator - but it works very well anyway.
- From ODT to Org, by Jose Maria Alkala.
- From ICalendar to Org. There are some tools and documentation related:
- There is a mention of some tools at the org-tools section, here.
- For Google users, see this.
- For a command line tool that converts files, URLs (e.g., Google Calendar), email attachments, and other sources into org-mode events, see this. It can integrate with crontab, systemd, etc. for automatic updating. An example of mu4e integration for processing email attachments with ics content is shown.
Bi-directional
- Google Calendar
- There is a method for synching. Read this tutorial.
