Re: is it possible to export a list of custom blocks?

[Stephen J. Barr <stephen@planetbarr.com>]

My apologies for the ambiguity. I am happy with the way the block itself
exports. I have a document with many such blocks interspersed throughout
the document. I wanted to create an org document which contains just
these blocks, and then export that document to .tex. 

E.g., if I had a paper, I would like a document containing just the
terms defined in the paper, and none of the rest of the content.

Thanks,
Stephen
