Perhaps as I get more familiar with org-mode I will use TODOs in a more structured way, but right now they are not a structured list of tasks but rather a bunch of reminders distributed through a document.

Maybe if you explain a situation where you'd not want th= e actual TODO exported but still want items under it exported, someone coul= d help you with a workaround or alternative suggestion?

The situation is one that arguably results from a lack = of discipline on my part (hence my interest in org-mode!): I add TODO items= to documents I'm writing without much regard as to how they fit into t= he overall structure of the file. =A0In other words, my TODOs are generally= "one-liners" which are sprinkled with abandon throughout the fil= e.

Does that make things clearer?

I mark these lines with a :noexport: tag in order to prevent= them from being exported. =A0As such, they're not part of the document= structure per-se, and I often mark them as top level headlines. =A0Since E= XPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS applies to a tree and not to a title, this prevents the = export of any subordinate items.

Here's an example:

* An amazing headl= ine
** stuff
** more stuff
* TODO clean up the stuff above :noexport:
** this is stuff = that I would like exported

In the exa= mple above, I'd like to have the everything but the TODO headline expor= ted, including the "this is stuff I would like exported" line.

I guess that I could always have my TODO lines be at a = very deep level. =A0Is there any other solution I should consider?

Thanks,
Sam
