Hi all,
when working with outlines (tabbing until CONTENTS), there are two
things I cannot figure out:
Firstly, I want to copy the *visible* text (minus the …, but never mind
that);
C-c C-e v [SPACE]
C-x h M-w
C-x k
In other words: Begin exporting only the visible part with `C-c C-e
v', then press space at the prompt for output formats. This leaves you
in a second buffer with a copy of the visible part (and yes, you do
get rid of the ellipses). Then select all with `C-c h' (alternately,
select the region of your choice) and copy. Kill the copy buffer when
you're done with it.
You may want to record a keyboard macro if you need this often.
secondly, I want to be able to search only the visible text.
You can do that, albeit only in a copy of your document in a separate
buffer, with the approach above. But why would you want to? Perhaps if
you state a use case, someone can point out a different approach.
More generally (and less org specific), how do I restrict commands to
the visible parts of the buffer?
I don't know.
Yours,
Christian
