Subtasks cookies out of export

Subtasks cookies out of export

[William LÉCHELLE]

Hi list,

I use subtasks cookies in titles, as described in
http://orgmode.org/manual/Breaking-down-tasks.html, along with todo keywords,
when writing a document to be exported, and I'd like then NOT to be exported
(for they're org metadata). Exporting to pdf, still using the default
exporter. I would have guess there would be an #+option for that (removing the
progress cookies), but I didn't find it in the export options page.

How much is that possible ?

Thanks in advance.

In the default exporter, you can add a function to
`org-export-preprocess-hook' which will carefully remove every
statistics cookie en the buffer.

In the next exporter, you can still use that hook (named
`org-export-before-parsing-hook' this time) or use the following:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun my-ignore-stat-cookies (cookie backend info)
  "Ignore every statistics cookie in every export back-end."
  "")

(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-statistics-cookie-functions
             'my-ignore-stat-cookies)
#+END_SRC

So, it will quite simple already to ignore them. Do you (and other
users) think it's worth to add a customizable variable and an entry in
the #+OPTIONS: line (perhaps with a "stat:nil" value) to achieve the
same?

I'm convinced, only I (still) lack the lisp knowledge to write such functions
:/

I don't know how much is this feature used, nor specifically for exporting,
but I do believe such an entry belongs to the #+OPTIONS line (just like
priorities, tags, etc.)

Thanks for dealing with this,

I have added it in the new exporter: #+OPTIONS: stat:nil (and global
variable `org-export-with-statistics-cookies').
