Sorry didn't finish the message. That doesn't seem to work from what I have tried. If for example it is * 2012 :noexport: ** June :noexport: *** Not going output *** Want to export this and subtrees :export: **** Also export The above example won't export anything because the export is below the :noexport:. I just wrote a kbd macro to search up to the nearest tag in the structure I define, select that subtree, and export. Then set to a key-binding to reload each time but figured there was a better way to do this. Or was interested for the reasons of creating a way to export a subtree at a specific headline level always. Is there a way to go up from your current level to a specific level in the subtree. Like if your on the 6th level but want to go up to the third level heading. Is there a command or key shortcut to do this essentially??
