Re: [O] accessing properties in org-element-parse-buffer tree

[Eike]

Hello again

it seems that I messed up my testing variables… I always had just one
headline and thus the list of lists had always one element that I then
extracted with `car'. So `car' must be removed:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun collect-props (tree)
    (org-element-map tree 'headline
      (lambda (hl)
        (when (eq 2 (org-element-property :level hl)) ; want only level-2 
properties
          (org-element-map hl 'node-property
            (lambda (np)
              (cons (org-element-property :key np)
                    (org-element-property :value np))))))))
#+end_src

I'd still be curious if there are other/better ways to do that; or is
this idiomatic usage of provided org functions?

Thanks again and kind regards
Eike
