Hi everybody
Is this possible?
** headline <-- not exported
:PROPERTIES: <-- not exported
Some content. <-- exported
The reason is that I use to finely pre-structure articles, starting with
org-brain and gradually developing each node into a paragraph of the
article. So basically each argumentative or informative block is an
individual org-node. In this way paragraphs of the article can be kept
mobile during the writing process and they can easily be moved when I
decide to restructure the text.
In a LaTeX export of the draft, each node-name is, of course,
interpreted as a section/subsection title, leaving me with dozens of
headlines for a 10-paper draft. Very disturbing while
proof-reading. This is why I'm looking for a way to exclude the
headlines from the export. They should be interpreted as a blank line,
so that LaTeX simply makes a new paragraph.
It would be even better if the node names can be converted to margin
text instead of completely hiding them. This would be a great
orientation help without distracting the reading flow.
Thanks for ideas,
Sven

yes. I do this all the time to add structure to a document, structure
that is not required in the exported version.
I have the following code:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun esf/remove-lines-with-ignore-heading-tag (backend)
(message "Deleting lines with ignore heading tag")
(while (search-forward-regexp "^\\*+.*[ \t]+[a-ZA-Z0-9:]*:ignoreheading:[a-ZA-Z0-9:]*$" (point-max) t)
(cond
((eq backend 'latex) (replace-match "#+latex: % \\&" ))
((eq backend 'html) (replace-match "#+html: <!-- \\& -->" ))
(t (replace-match ""))))
(message "... done deleting ignored headings."))
(add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook 'esf/remove-lines-with-ignore-heading-tag)
#+end_src
which then causes any headline with the ignoreheading tag to be removed,
leaving the subtree under that headline present.
One caveat: the subtree content inherits behaviour from the previous
headline. For instance, if the previous headline was one that would not
be exported at all, then this subtree will also not be exported. E.g.:
#+begin_src org
,* heading 1
Text that will be exported
,* heading 2 :ignoreheading:
Text that will also be exported but without the heading
,* heading 3 :noexport:
Text that will not be exported.
,* heading 4 :ignoreheading:
Text here will also not be exported because it ends up being under
"heading 3" which has the :noexport: tag.
#+end_src
Note that my implementation is old and it could very well be that later
versions of org have introduced something to cater for this use case. I
have org customizations going back over 10 years...

Works like a charm! Almost perfect. Thank you very much. One problem:
For some reason the :ignoreheading: tag causes the PROPERTY drawer to be
exported. So every paragraph starts with the org-brain ID of the node. I
have the option prop:nil set in the file but it is ignored for nodes
containing the :ignoreheading: tag. Same for other properties like
CATEGORY. I saw properties unexpectedly exported already yesterday,
before I had your code. It went away after I inserted the prop:nil
option. But now it's back. Some changes in a recent update that I'm
unaware of?

This is fine for me.

Ah, probably because the property drawer is now not in the right place
(i.e. immediately after a headline) so prop:nil doesn't affect it. You
may need to disable export of all drawers (d:nil) which may or may not
cause you other problems...

Oh yes, works. I never need any drawers in the output, so I disabled
them globally:
(setq org-export-with-drawers nil)
So far no unwanted consequences.
Thank you very much,

It seems to me that this is what you are referring to, Eric: using the
:ignore: tag in conjunction with package 'ox-extra'.

Thanks. I haven't tried it but, looking at the documentation & code, it
does what my little snippet does and a lot more.
