;; Org syntax can be divided into three categories: "Greater
;; elements", "Elements" and "Objects".
;;
;; Elements are related to the structure of the document. Indeed, all
;; elements are a cover for the document: each position within belongs
;; to at least one element.
;;
;; An element always starts and ends at the beginning of a line. With
;; a few exceptions (namely `babel-call', `clock', `headline', `item',

;; CONTENTS is a list of elements, objects or raw strings contained

;; An Org buffer is a nested list of such elements and objects, whose
;; type is `org-data' and properties is nil.
;;
;; The first part of this file implements a parser and an interpreter

;; The next two parts introduce four accessors and a function
;; retrieving the element starting at point (respectively
;; `org-element-type', `org-element-property', `org-element-contents',
;; `org-element-restriction' and `org-element-current-element').
;;
;; The following part creates a fully recursive buffer parser. It
;; also provides a tool to map a function to elements or objects
;; matching some criteria in the parse tree. Functions of interest
;; are `org-element-parse-buffer', `org-element-map' and, to a lesser
;; extent, `org-element-parse-secondary-string'.
;;
;; The penultimate part is the cradle of an interpreter for the
;; obtained parse tree: `org-element-interpret-data'.

;; The library ends by furnishing a set of interactive tools for
;; element's navigation and manipulation, mostly based on
;; `org-element-at-point' function.
