bug
===
9.4 maint docstring
=== org-export-select-tags is a variable defined in
‘ox.el’.
...
1) does this take into account subtree export, region
export, and narrowed buffers? if so, perhaps the
docstring should change.
my expectation is that just having :export: in a huge
buffer should not affect exporting a tiny part of it.
by the principle of least surprise.
it is sorta surprising enough that something buried
in a subtree can affect the whole export of that
subtree. :)
2) org-export-with-tasks set to
- nil will not export a task subtree regardless of
:export: tag underneath
- t will export regardless
thus basically overriding the export tag feature with
the export with tasks feature. is that intended? i
can see that it could be the best choice, but could
also see it being useful to use the export tag even
with tasks.
i wonder when was the last time there was a change to
this variable or its behavior? i suspect there might
have been a change, at least wrt top level todo kw
stopping export, but i don't know.

huh, in exporting the email, i found a possible export bug.
here is the original. please reply to this one.
notice that a whole paragraph got deleted in the previous email. that
is the exported version. dunno why.
9.4 maint docstring

...
If any such tag is found in a buffer, all trees that do not carry
one of these tags will be ignored during export.
