I want to write a package to export Org files to certain format, where do I start?

So I want to write an Emacs package to export org files to a format used in a website (the syntax is similar to html, but much more simple). I have some experience writing my own function in Elisp before, but I don't know where to start writing a package.

Maybe [https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-reference.html](https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-reference.html) could be a useful starting point, even though it is not an introduction.

Give an example of what the export format looks like and what data you want exported.

It looks like this. [div]this is a line[/div] [div]this is a new line[/div] [div][b]this line is bold[/b][/div] [div][i]this line is italic[/i][/div] [div][url=http://gnu.org]this line has a link[/url][/div] [div][h1][size=6]this line is title[/size][/h1][/div]

Thanks, this seems to suit my need :)

What about heading data? Outline level, planning, properties, code blocks, etc.? From what you have here it looks like you'd start with org-export.

Alright I'll go check org-export, thanks for the advice!

Looks like bbcode, from back in the day. You could take a look here https://github.com/mmitch/ox-bb

Oh thanks, I think this is what I need.
