Hi,
I currently have a large knowledge-base in a single org file (>5k
lines of code). When exporting certain sections I would like to
exclude the rest completely.
Furthermore I would like to have the current section displayed as
title with all child section being adapted accordingly.
Say I have a file ~/tmp/a.org:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Windows
** Software for working
* Cygwin
* more
* Linux
** Software to install via package manager
** Software to install from source
Use xstove
* Emacs
* Org Mode
Compile, but keep locale.
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I can then invoke `C-c C-e v a' with the cursor being somewhere within
the "* Linux" section. I will still end up with an ASCII file
including the other sections:
,----
| a
| =
|
| Author: foo
| Date: 2007/07/14 03:08:10
|
|
| 1 Windows
| ~~~~~~~~~
|
| 1.1 Software for working
| ========================
| * Cygwin
| * more
|
| 2 Linux
| ~~~~~~~
|
| 2.1 Software to install via package manager
| ===========================================
|
| 2.2 Software to install from source
| ===================================
| Use xstove
| * Emacs
| * Org Mode
| Compile, but keep locale.
`----
I would like to export something like this:
,----
| Linux
| =====
|
| Author: foo
| Date: 2007/07/14 03:08:10
|
|
| 1 Software to install via package manager
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
| 2 Software to install from source
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Use xstove
| * Emacs
| * Org Mode
| Compile, but keep locale.
`----
Would others find this useful? Is this difficult to imply?
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
I'd very much appreciate your proposed feature and propose an
additional idea, which has been on my mind for a while: it would be
very nice to be able export subsections of a file to different
export-files, maybe by using #+CATEGORY or another keyword. I like
having all my information in one file, but exporting this as a
singe webpage always lookes a mess.....
At the moment I use the following approach as a workaround:
1. move to subtree which should be exported
2. M-x org-narrow-to-subtree (or C-x n s)
3. manually adapt the heading-level via M-<left>
4. M-x org-export (or C-c C-e)
5. re-adapt heading-level and finally
6. M-x widen (or C-x n w)
which is quite quick....

Jost, thanks for pointing out this nice workaround!
Cheers,

This will be addressed in 5.06.
