Hi Suvayu,
I've been using your "sa-ignore-headline" filter [1] for a while -- works
great for LaTeX.
(defun sa-ignore-headline (contents backend info)
"Ignore headlines with tag `ignoreheading'."
(when (and (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex 'html 'ascii)
(string-match "\\`.*ignoreheading.*\n"
(downcase contents)))
(replace-match "" nil nil contents)))
Unfortunately, although this is supposed to apply to latex, html and ascii
backends, the string-match works only for LaTeX. I was just trying it with
HTML and there was no effect.
For HTML export, the "contents" end up looking like this:
<div id="outline-container-sec-2" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-2"><span class="section-number-2">2</span>
B   <span class="tag"><span
class="ignoreheading">ignoreheading</span></span></h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2">
<p>
Text B
</p>
</div>
</div>
.. where there is no backquote to match.
So I've changed the string-match predicate to read as follows (also
removing the downcase), and it now works with HTML export.
(string-match ".*ignoreheading.*" contents)
That's a hack -- sufficient for now, but ideally I suppose it should
dispatch to a different predicate per backend.
Posting here because I didn't see a way on stackexchange to comment on your
answer.
Thanks for the function! It would have taken me ages to figure it out on my
own.
