Fair enough. Ironically, it is not even wrong. Looking at the source code, respecting region is merely a convention coming from most of backends calling `org-export-as'. As one possibility, we can add something like the following to the docstring: "Usually, exporting respects current narrowing and active region, though individual export backends might not follow the convention. See `org-export-as' for more details." Alternatively, we can modify `org-export-define-backend' to change the docstring with links to individual backend exporters. Or we may modify the dispatcher menu to indicate active region. Though it is not guaranteed to be obeyed by the backends. Best, Ihor
