plain list noexport

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

i need to export a plain list with a noexport feature per item.
the list is a timeline with some items having timestamps.

one design idea was that i would specify this with [X] (checkbox
checked).

exported:
  1) i left msg for A
  2) [2024-11-09 Sat 13:22] i left msg for A
  3) [ ] i left msg for A
  4) [ ] [2024-11-09 Sat 13:22] i left msg for A
not exported:
  1) [X] i left msg for A
  2) [X] [2024-11-09 Sat 13:15] i left msg for A

so it could be used for only exporting not yet done items, or
items that should be exported depending on audience.

however, this would undesirably export the checkboxes.  idk if
that can be turned off.  in principle, i could instead say
":noexport:" or "=noexport=" immediately after the bullet or any
timestamp.  that would also allow exporting checklists.

a less syntaxy option would be to use headings instead of a
plain list, and use :noexport: tag, but i do not think that can
be made to look exactly like a plain list.  if it can, that
would work.

i cannot program any of these ideas, so suggestions for prompts
for a weak-at-programming ai to code this are welcome.


p.s.  unrelated question: will americans generally understand
org bare inactive timestamps?
