Hello,
In creating a packing/buy list for an upcoming camping trip, I wanted
two exports:
- one for things to buy
- one for everything on the list for packing
My strategy was to tag things to buy with :export: (perhaps foolish,
but it was the obvious choice to selectively export them) to create my
shopping list. I'd also like an alternate export with all headlines in
the subtree exported.
Now the list is done like that, but I'm not sure how to export
everything without undoing all the tags on the buy list items.
I'm thinking I should have done something like a :buy: tag, then set
SELECT_TAGS to target those items, followed by removing that export
option and exporting as normal to get them all. Just thought I'd see
if there was a way to override the function of :export: as it
typically behaves.
Thanks,
John

An empty SELECT_TAGS selects everything I believe:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+SELECT_TAGS:
* a :export:
* b
* c
* d :export:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then you can comment it out to get just the :export:ed headlines.
But a semantically meaningful tag seems better to me.

Awesome, and I'll keep that in mind. Agreed re. the better strategy with
non-org tags, which is what I ended up doing.
Thanks!

If those two lists are disjoint, you can put each of them under its own
subtree and export only the respective subtree.
With point on the subtree to export press C-c C-e C-s toggeling the
subtree export.

Definitely. In this case, items were grouped functionally by cooking,
activities, sleeping, etc. So there were both items we had and didn't in
the same tree.

If these two lists are disjoint you could put each of them under its own
subtree and export these subtrees seperately. Just press C-s in the
export dispatcher.
