I am trying to exclude different sub-trees (a.k.a. headings or sections), depending on the exporter backend. I am familiar with =:noexport:= to exclude selected sections (disregarding the backend). I found a solution, but it is only intended for a specific backend: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/76454 I would like to recommend that such a thing is implemented for any backend. So that :noexport_X: (where X is a backend) is excluded. Something like: * Not for html :noexport_html: * For HTML :noexport_latex: Thank you! -- Sent with https://mailfence.com Secure and private email ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

It is also easy to implement.

I am not sure if they justify adding a new feature for Org mode. (Why would we add something with a purpose of being used as a workaround instead of fixing the original problem, after all?) As for ignore-heading, please search list archives - adding this feature has been discussed many times and the author of Org export system repeatedly opposed it.

It was just to show that there are other people who may use it :) . Note that we are currently discussing somewhat similar idea, but for all the Org markup elements, not just headings: https://list.orgmode.org/877chvvq1b.fsf_-_@posteo.net/T/#madc064d96ae66467adc2ea9adb53c6c0edc7aaf7 >> As for ignore-heading, ... >> ... the author of Org export system >> repeatedly opposed it. This is why: >> https://list.orgmode.org/87mwdfzmox.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/ > > Ok. Sorry. I should have assumed (or looked for) that there was a reason :) . To be fair, it would be nice to include :ignore: tag as a part of the Org. However, we need to somehow make sure that nothing unexpected happens when users use :ignore: in a context where it does not make sense: * Heading ** Sub-heading Text. * Ignored :ignore: Merging this text with previous sub-heading is unexpected. If you have ideas how to address such scenarios, feel free to share them. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
