OK, I have a minimal working example and would like to add some unit tests to this project, largely as a way to learn more about testing in emacs/org so that I can start writing tests for some other projects.
However... I don't really understand how to build tests in org (and in fact I don't really understand ert much at all). Looks like the worg page is largely a stub. Does anyone have any hints for getting started? Like, should i be able to use ~testing/test-ox.el~ to test my exporter? I would like to start doing a better job of developing in elisp, but I am having trouble getting started on my own, so, once again, I appreciate any help you cna give!
