"""
Org Reader
==========

Version 1.1.

Relevant Pelican settings:

- ORG_READER_EMACS_LOCATION: Required. Location of Emacs binary.

- ORG_READER_EMACS_SETTINGS: Optional. An absolute path to an Elisp file, to
  run per invocation. Useful for initializing the `package` Emacs library if
  that's where your Org mode comes from, or any modifications to Org Export-
  related variables.

- ORG_READER_BACKEND: Optional. A custom backend to provide to Org. Defaults
  to 'html.

To provide metadata to Pelican, the following properties can be defined in
the org file's header:

#+TITLE: The Title Of This BlogPost
#+DATE: 2001-01-01
#+CATEGORY: blog-category
#+AUTHOR: My Name
#+PROPERTY: LANGUAGE en
#+PROPERTY: SUMMARY hello, this is the description
#+PROPERTY: SLUG test_slug
#+PROPERTY: MODIFIED [2015-12-29 Di]
#+PROPERTY: TAGS my, first, tags
#+PROPERTY: SAVE_AS alternative_filename.html

- The TITLE is the only mandatory header property
- Timestamps (DATE and MODIFIED) are optional and can be either a string of
  %Y-%m-%d or an org timestamp
- The property names (SUMMARY, SLUG, MODIFIED, TAGS, SAVE_AS) can be either
  lower-case or upper-case
- The slug is automatically the filename of the Org file, if not explicitly
  specified
- It is not possible to pass an empty property to Pelican.  For this plugin,
  it makes no difference if a property is present in the Org file and left
  empty, or if it is not defined at all.
