Hi, I want selective export in org (for instance, exporting to beamer/latex, and html etc). I seem to understand the "theory" but it seems not really to work for me.
what _works_ is as follows: I set directly a corresponding variable, in particular, for instance, set it "hard" to (setq org-export-exclude-tags '("noexport" "private" "handout") "noexport" is the original value, but I want to keep trees tagged as "private" and as "handout" out of for instance the slides. Now that seems to work. Now: when I want to /customize/ that in the org-file itself, it seems that's done by doing something like #+EXCLUDE_TAGS: private (In (older?) versions, I also found #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS). Anyhow: having such a specification in the org-file seems to have /no effect/, even if I "refresh" the org-file, nor does it work when I visit the file for the first time. It seems simply not to affect the said variable "org-export-exclude-tags" -- I use a pretty up-to-date org version pulled from git-hub (org-version 8.3.2, emacs-version 24.3.1) Martin
