Apologies for responding to myself, but I realized after writing the 
message below that if I use sed to remove the lines with the word 
"label" and all of the empty brackets (i.e., =[]= and ={}= ) in the tex 
file, then I'm very, very close to what I need. I assume I could write a 
function and then call it in the publishing routine?
