How I pulled the song names
To build the above list of songs, I did a few things:
- Copied the video names on the playlist from YouTube
- Ran that through this one-liner:
pbpaste | perl -lne 'print if $t; if (/^\d+:/) { $t=1 } else {$t=0}'
This prints the line right after the time, which in my clipboard was the line that had the video name.
- Pasted this output into org-mode
- Ran
string-insert-rectangle
to add " - " to the beginning - Published org-mode to Jekyll etc
However, I don't know how to make " - " preformatted in org-mode! :-)
