org-brain-export is a new package. Some people have asked me about export support for org-brain. It seems like people are working on different solutions, and I think that the same kind of stuff will need to be done in many of the solutions. Because of this org-brain-export can hopefully provide some common ground.

At the moment I've started with basic HTML and GraphViz dot export. Mostly since these have been the most requested formats in the org-brain repository discussions.

Hi @Kungsgeten,
I think you've already thought about this but the possibility of an export of the org-brain-friend links would be really useful to use the export as a tool to analyze brain (or part of it). Kind of like allowed by org-roam + org-graph-view.
Thanks to you ;-)

Just wanted to add this information here, can be added to main page, maybe.
Using org-brains features with tags notext or nobrain one can finetune what should be included in this svg export from obvz. Combining with org-brains header entries it can be just perfect and fun to use.

Hi!

Congrats on the plugin. I was looking for something like this for a long time!

There is a minor issue I would like to be fixed, on org-brain we can place a new headline, below an already existing node, and it will be automatically used as their child.

Using your plugin, if I export it, I was not able to saw it on GraphViz. In order to fix that, I added the BRAIN_PARENT property manually.

Can you fix that so org-brain-export could identify children without the need to explicit declare those?

@Kungsgeten how would you feel about an integration/junction with this great work of @alphapapa

In order to specify shapes and colors to dot, I would like to pass PROPERTIES values to org-brain-export-generate-data.
What is the simplest way to get the result of org-entry-get or org-element-property of an org-bain entry ?

Currently, we have two solutions to export in .dot the structure of notes: export the whole "brain" or export an "entry". You can't export a file (created by org-brain-add-child) without having to add an entry at the beginning of the file, then to shift all entries one level (to keep the structure). Only then you can apply org-brain-export-dot-entry on this new headline.

Is it possible to consider adding an org-brain-export-dot-file option?

Hi,

When I try to export, if I have spaces or characters like apostrophes it produces an error in graphviz.

digraph G {
concentrate=true;
obUniversités%20populaires [label="Universités populaires"];
obColloque%20et%20journées%20d’études [label="Colloque et journées d’études"];
}

The error seems to come from the % character and the apostrophes.

I don't know how we could solve... by transforming all these characters with _ ? Or any UTF8 option ?

There's no styling in the generated HTML, so it is pretty ugly. I'm no CSS or HTML wizard, so help would be appreciated. Maybe we could also use jQuery or similar, so that all entries aren't visible from the start? I think TiddlyWiki could be an inspiration (though I haven't tried it in years).
