It looks promising but I can't get it to work as I expect; is it 
perhaps
not fully compatible with Org 9? After following the instructions 
on
that page to the best of my abilities, and using their example 
document,
my output contains lots of stuff that I expect to be hidden. (E.g. 
all
the to/from special headings etc).
