org-pandoc-import VS orgajs

You can try to use https://github.com/tecosaur/org-pandoc-import

Ooh, org-pandoc-imoort would be perfect for this! It'll convert your markdown files to org on import, provided you have pandoc installed, and then back when you save!

Orgmode's page about tools about import & export actually includes both to an entry about export to pandoc (ox-pandoc) as well as import from pandoc (org-pandoc-import).

It's always nice to see someone from the humanities interested in Emacs. I suspect that you'll find the best experience by using Org mode + Pandoc. This will let you write in a rather nice plaintext environment, and then export that to a .docx file. I don't think the styling will be great (could well be wrong though), but it should work fairly well :) Importing (from .docx to .org) is likely to be less smooth, but still decent.

The use case is: I maintain a little blog of my own and I use org mode for writing. I previously used Hakyll and Pandoc, but switched to Gatsby a while ago. Because Gatsby doesn't (didn't?) support using Pandoc in the pipeline, I switched to Orga, which provides a transformer for Gatsby. However, I've had a number of issues with Orga, so I'm looking for a replacement. I considered using org-pandoc-import and storing the documents as markdown instead, but I couldn't make it work properly. I'd also like to be able to utilize features such as (sequential) code block line numbering and links to code lines, which I haven't been able to find any support for outside of pure HTML export.

https://github.com/tecosaur/org-pandoc-import might help?

Depending on how you log data and take notes you might find the orgparse Python library or the orga JS library useful.

That is perfect, all org-syntax features we need are done properly. I can manage to use the orgapp code in some simple tool.

org syntax isn't as confined to the emacs world as it used to be. Check out, e.g., https://github.com/orgapp/orgajs, which parses org files into an 'abstract syntax tree', which can then be transformed/picked for info/indexed, etc. etc. by any number of tools. Pandoc's support is also improving as far as I'm aware.

I am an avid emacs user! Lately, I found a tool named orgajs (https://github.com/orgapp/orgajs/). This seemed great for my needs but it is behind on maintenance.

Thanks @preek. I mentioned you guys in [3] above. BTW I'm actually using this parser: https://github.com/orgapp/orgajs for my product (https://braintool.org), so there are other choices. I guess the key thing is a single well defined grammar.

Is GDrive syncing working in Organice these days? I've wanted to demonstrate interop with BrainTool (which syncs to GDrive files) but last I checked there was some bug.

Overall Orga's great and I really don't mean to diminish the author's work in any way, but I have had a couple issues. A number of them have been fixed, which is great, but I got stuck on this one about line breaks when using auto-fill mode. I think it's fixed in a newer version of Orga, but upgrading broke my build and I've spent enough hours trying to fix it that I'm looking for options.

MDX is non-trivial. But if all you need is gatsby with org, a simpler plugin similar to gatsby-transformer-remark is doable. gatsby-transformer-orga would be a good inspiration here.
