Here's my attempt which should work, except I think there is a bug in org-change-tag-in-region (see below): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun set-noexport () (org-change-tag-in-region (save-excursion (beginning-of-line) (point)) (save-excursion (end-of-line) (point)) "noexport" nil)) (defun jh-mark-todo-noexport () (org-map-entries 'set-noexport "/+TODO" 'file)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- There might be a simpler way to set the tag, but if so, I didn't find it. OTOH, mapping over the entries is as elegant as it gets. Now for the (purported) bug: org-change-tag-in-region does the following ,---- | ... | (goto-char end) | (setq l2 (1- (org-current-line))) | (goto-char beg) | (setq l1 (org-current-line)) | (loop for l from l1 to l2 do | ... `---- so if the region is a single line (say line 3), l2 becomes 2, l1 becomes 3 and the loop is not executed at all, whereas methinks it should be executed once. Shouldn't l2 be set to (org-current-line)? Thanks, Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] ...except that you might not want to add the tag if it's there already - I'm not sure whether that would cause a problem. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
