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.
