export tree

export tree

[Andreas Leha]

Hi all,

what is the best way to export the whole current tree (starting from the
top-level headline)?

Background:
I have some documents with this structure

,----
| * Document 1
| 
| * Document 2
| 
| * Some Functions
| 
| * Some more Functions
`----

Now, when I am editing somewhere deep inside the Document 2.  How do I
export the whole "Document 2" tree the fastest way?
There is for sure a faster way than moving the point to the headline
"Document 2" and starting a subtree-export.

Note:
I am aware of the org-export-exclude-tags (:noexport:).  But these
require a to change the .org file just to export "Document 1" in
between.  I am looking for something like export-current-tree similar to
export export-current-subtree.


Any hints?

Best,
Andreas

Write a function and bind it to a key - something like this perhaps:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun ah-export-current-top-level-tree ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (outline-up-heading (org-current-level))
    (let ((org-export-initial-scope 'subtree))
	  (org-export))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
