I only recently discovered subtree export, which I thought would be
better suited for me, but I have trouble to switch.
Consider the following file:
#+SELECT_TAGS: export conditional
#+EXCLUDE_TAGS:
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil title:nil author:nil date:nil tags:nil
* I :export:
** 1
** 2
** nth
*** conditional :conditional:
* II
If I use 'C-c C-e l o', I have everything under '* I' exported. If I
transfer 'conditional' from '#+SELECT_TAGS:' to '#+EXCLUDE_TAGS:', I
have everything under '* I' except the '*** conditional' headline.
This is want I want: be able to selectively include/exclude the
headlines with the ':conditional:' tag by simply transferring
'conditional'.
Now, if I use 'C-c C-e C-s l o' on '* I', it gives the same as above
when 'conditional' belongs to '#+EXCLUDE_TAGS:' but, after the
transfer of 'conditional' to '#+SELECT_TAGS:', only the '** nth'
headline is exported.
Is there a convenient way to achieve my goal? Sure, I can put an
':export:' tag on '** 1', '** 2', and '** nth', but it is not very
practical. I can also introduce a 'fake' headline and subtree export
it instead:
* fake
** I :export:
*** 1
*** 2
*** nth
**** conditional :conditional:
* II
but I don't like this workaround either.
Thanks in advance
PS: I have a minor comment about the manual: when reading the following
‘SELECT_TAGS’
The default value is ‘("export")’. [...]
‘EXCLUDE_TAGS’
The default value is ‘("noexport")’. [...]
I find it difficult to anticipate what will happen when there is no
tag at all.
