Exporting selected tags *with* its sub-tag hierarchy

Exporting selected tags *with* its sub-tag hierarchy

Hi there,

Is there a way to export some tags with all its sub tags?

I have this tree of tags as explained here :
https://orgmode.org/manual/Tag-hierarchy.html
loaded at startup. E.g.:
#+TAGS: [ @errands : bank groceries ]

Filtering the @errands tag in the agenda todo view does lists all of
@errands sub tags as expected (i.e.: bank and groceries). Why then doesn't
SELECT_TAGS do the same on exporting? I did search and try other options to
no avail.

In the minimal working example bellow, only the content explicitly tagged
@errands is exported (to LaTeX might that be relevant). I would expect all
the sub-tags to be exported also. In this example, the content tagged
:bank: does not get exported as expected.

'Any hints on how to achieve hierarchal exporting of tags?

Thanks for any pointers.

Good question. I implemented it as a bugfix in maint branch.

Thank you.
