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 .

• 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
[[https://orgmode.org/manual/iCalendar-export.html#iCalendar-export][explained at the org manual]].

• For Google users, read .

Org-mode Import Tools

• From Palm TODO database to Orgmode. This Translator was
written by [[http://www.olafdietsche.de/][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:

#+begin_src perl #!/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} #+end_src

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 section, .

• For Google users, see .

• For a command line tool that converts files, URLs (e.g., Google
Calendar), email attachments, and other sources into org-mode events, see [[https://github.com/rjhorniii/ical2org][this]]. It can integrate with crontab, systemd, etc. for automatic updating. An example of [[https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e.html][mu4e]] integration for processing email attachments with ics content is shown.
