The version in org-plus-contrib is a very one from the maint-branch, which kind of defeats the purpose of the package, doesn't it? Anyway, your suggestion now works perfectly, thanks again.

[O] Ignoring empty subtrees/new exporter
Hi, I have a document with many sections not yet written (i.e. heading without content) and I would like them to be ignored in the exported file. I know, I could manually tag these headings with :noexport:, but what about a more automated approach? Now, I tried this: (defun ignore-empty-section (headline contents info) (when contents (org-e-latex-headline headline contents info))) (add-to-list 'org-e-latex-translate-alist '(headline . ignore-empty-section)) This does ALMOST what I want: it ignores sections that are completely empty. But I also want to ignore sections that have only empty subsections (and so on, recursively). For example: * Chapter ** this subtree should be ignored *** no content *** no content ** this subtree should not be ignored *** subsection finally, content something weird *** subsection Any ideas? I tried parsing the HEADLINE stuff (the first argument), but it looks a bit intimidating. It's not super important, because it's a draft obviously, but it would be nice. Thanks, Florian

Sometimes I create documents - not drafts, but final deliverables - with empty sections and plain headlines. This way I get emboldened text that stands out without resorting to emphasis. You are probably writing a Thesis. Oftentimes, I create documents that aren't as formal as Thesis. They are plain one-to-one-s which need to look good, that is all. --
