Hi Nicolas, Thanks for your thoughts.

In the text, you say “promoted to the root level of the tree”, which I expect to mean promotion to a top-level headline. In the example, though, H4 is promoted to second-level. Do you mean “promoted to the level of the highest dominating :noexport: headline”? That seems correct to me (but I have not thought about it extensively). Regardless, I like it very much. > > This is not inlining, since "Body2" is lost anyway, and it may require > to tag all children of a given headline, but it's already better than > the current situation, is robust enough for inclusion in core, and > doesn't require introducing a plethora of new special tags. I think under your proposal it would be possible to add a single special tag which is equivalent (by definition) to tagging a headline noexport and all its children export. This could be implemented as a parse tree transformation adding the (no)export tags at an early stage in the export code. I agree with Mark and others that “ignore” (or some variant like “exportignore” or “ignoreheading”) are better names for this tag than “inline”. My vote, FWIW, is that the level of sustained user interest justifies the inclusion of this new tag. But I hope it will not be too burdensome, since it just serves as a sort of syntactic sugar and doesn’t require any substantial new semantics (beyond your proposal for the extension of (no)export). To borrow your example, this would look like: Text before first headline * H1 Body1 ** H2 :ignore: Body2 *** H3 Body3 *** H4 Body4 **** H5 Body5 exports to: Text before first headline * H1 Body1 ** H3 Body3 ** H4 Body4 *** H5 Body5 (Note lack of “Text2”) -- Aaron Ecay
