Hello,
can I limit a subtree to be exported with specific backends only?
I.e. only to HTML, but not Texinfo or LaTeX?
Background: I am trying to simplify the documentation of one of my
projects, and combine the website and the user manual into a single
document. Naturally, there is some content on the website that should
not appear in the manual and vice versa.
So long,
Sebastian Wiesner

A partly manual solution would be to use tags for which sections to export in
which backend, make a sparse tree with the backend you're interested to export,
and export what's visible?
If working, such a thing could be automated in a ELisp block.
Best regards,
Seb

I am by far not an Org mode expert, and have never used sparse trees.
Would you mind to point me to the appropriate manual section, or give
me some details on how to create a sparse tree matching a specific tag
only?

See section 2.6 Sparse trees:
╭────
│ An important feature of Org mode is the ability to construct _sparse
│ trees_ for selected information in an outline tree, so that the entire
│ document is folded as much as possible, but the selected information is
│ made visible along with the headline structure above it(1). Just try
│ it out and you will see immediately how it works.
│
│ Org mode contains several commands creating such trees, all these
│ commands can be accessed through a dispatcher:
│
│ `C-c /' (`org-sparse-tree')
│ This prompts for an extra key to select a sparse-tree creating
│ command.
╰────
It will help to "expand" all entries which contain a certain keyword (see `C-c
/ /') and "collapse" all others. Though, it won't help for tagged entries:
their contents won't be opened automatically by doing `C-c / m' (match for a
tag).
Anyway, `C-c /' is a very interesting (set of) commands to know!
Best regards,
Seb

As Sebastien suggests, if you can identify export status depending on
tags you can do it with a filter.
Here's an example that's perhaps a bit too verbose and not thoroughly
tested:
#+BEGIN_SRC Org
#+TITLE: Conditional export
#+options: tags:nil
* Common intro
txt
** Pdf heading :latex:
the math is really pretty!
** HTML heading :html:
the text features hyperlinks!
** More common notes
Intro over
* Code :noexport:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun rasmus/conditional-export (settings backend)
"Change SETTINGS to include dynamically set export-tags.
Enable the use of BACKEND as EXPORT_TAGS. A derived backend is
treated as its parent."
(let ((backends (remove-duplicates
(mapcar (lambda (x)
(or (org-export-backend-parent x)
(org-export-backend-name x)))
org-export--registered-backends)))
;; for treating derived backend and parent backends differently:
;; (backend-or-parent backend)
(backend-or-parent (dolist (b org-export--registered-backends return)
(when (eq (org-export-backend-name b) backend)
(return (or (org-export-backend-parent b)
(org-export-backend-name b)))))))
(plist-put
settings :exclude-tags
(append (plist-get settings :exclude-tags)
(mapcar 'symbol-name
(remove backend-or-parent backends))))))
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-options-functions 'rasmus/conditional-export)
#+end_src
#+END_SRC

Enough with the bla bla!

Great, I think I will go by this way…
I presume, I can set "org-export-filter-options-functions" as a
directory-local variable, so that this kind of export restrictions
only applies to Org mode documents in the specific project.

Do I understand correctly, that this code adds all *other* backends to
the "exclude-tags" setting, instead of adding the current one to
"select-tags"? Is there a specific reason to do this?
Just adding "backend" to "select-tags" seems simpler to me, and I
wonder whether "exclude-tags" even behaves correctly for headlines
with more than one tag. As far as I understand the Org manual, it
would exclude headlines tagged as ":html:latex:" when exporting to
"html", because "latex" is added as exclude-tag, preventing the
headline from being exported.

Probably. There was some discussions on it lately. Check the
archive.

Let me know if it doesn't work as desired and share your improvements.
I didn't do proper testing as I don't fully appreciate all corner
cases of the use case.
On select tag, you can use it if you like how this document works
#+SELECT_TAGS: latex
* common intro
test
** html intro :html:
html
** latex :latex:
latex
* common next section
Next section

You should be able to test this in a normal org document.
