huh, in exporting the email, i found a possible export bug. here is the original. please reply to this one.
notice that a whole paragraph got deleted in the previous email. that is the exported version. dunno why. 9.4 maint docstring === org-export-select-tags is a variable defined in ‘ox.el’. ... If any such tag is found in a buffer, all trees that do not carry one of these tags will be ignored during export. === 1) does this take into account subtree export, region export, and narrowed buffers? if so, perhaps the docstring should change. my expectation is that just having :export: in a huge buffer should not affect exporting a tiny part of it. by the principle of least surprise. it is sorta surprising enough that something buried in a subtree can affect the whole export of that subtree. :) 2) org-export-with-tasks set to - nil will not export a task subtree regardless of :export: tag underneath - t will export regardless thus basically overriding the export tag feature with the export with tasks feature. is that intended? i can see that it could be the best choice, but could also see it being useful to use the export tag even with tasks. i wonder when was the last time there was a change to this variable or its behavior? i suspect there might have been a change, at least wrt top level todo kw stopping export, but i don't know.
