Initial implementation of org-chef-edit-servings #70

Closed alexhuntley closed 2 years ago

alexhuntley commented 2 years ago

Adds the command org-chef-edit-servings, which changes the number of servings in the recipe under point and also updates all the quantities under the Ingredients heading.

Useful for meal planning and probably other things...

Seems like a good idea! I do worry that it won't work on every recipe, but it will probably help for a lot of them if this is the kind of thing you'd want to do.

Thanks for merging this. I agree it's not perfect, but I've tried to make it relatively robust.

There are a couple of edge cases I can think of which would be hard to implement:

Quantities given in words rather than as numbers (e.g. "Four eggs")
Quantities that are multiplied together (e.g. "5x 400g tins")

Thankfully these cases seem to be quite rare.
