I even have (ignored) headlines that have a content that is simply a @@latex:\newpage@@ directive! The problem is that if you have a headline that is ignored, the text that follows essentially belongs to the previous non-ignored headline. If that previous headline has been commented out or has been marked as not to be exported, the text after the ignored headline is also therefore ignored when it comes to export. Ignoring headlines is very fragile in the same way as described in my original post. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.90.1, Org release_8.3.3-535-g7213aa

In any case, this means that my abstract was considered to be part of the noexport headline and was therefore not exported. Lately I like to have headlines for all the logical parts of the document, so also an "Abstract" headline with the abstract block inside. Then I use the tag "ignore" and the org export extra "ignore-headlines" (activated e.g. via "(ox-extras-activate '(ignore-headlines))" if you use org-plus-contrib) to avoid exporting the headlines themselves. This should also avoid the inheritance of tags in the last headline of the include. Not vanilla org, but I find it handy. Giacomo

But, in the end, simply removing the section was sufficient as it really wasn't necessary (and that's why I have everything under version control... ;-). > Another possibility is to use something like: > > #+header: :exports results :results raw replace > #+NAME: import-include-dot-org > > #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp >(require 'ox-org) >(org-export-string-as "#+INCLUDE: include.org" 'org t) > #+END_SRC > > which will strip out headlines tagged with noexport during the babel phase > of export (i.e. before parsing). This is quite ingenious! I like it. Don't need it now but worth keeping note of for the future.

I have a document for which the LaTeX export was ignoring a #+begin_abstract ... #+end_abstract construct near the start of the document. The text was simply not appearing in the LaTeX file. Long story short: I had a #+include: directive as the first line of the file which included an org file called preamble.org. In that preamble file, the last headline had the tag :noexport:. It would seem that this tag is not processed until after the include file has been included. I hope that makes sense. In any case, this means that my abstract was considered to be part of the noexport headline and was therefore not exported. Took me a very long time to figure out... the simple solution was to remove that noexport section entirely from the preamble file. I find myself in the habit of using inlinetasks tagged noexport for various things and that might serve you in this case. That is, convert the headline section to an inlinetask. Another possibility is to use something like: #+header: :exports results :results raw replace #+NAME: import-include-dot-org #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (require 'ox-org) (org-export-string-as "#+INCLUDE: include.org" 'org t) #+END_SRC which will strip out headlines tagged with noexport during the babel phase of export (i.e. before parsing). I do wonder whether the org export approach (i.e. how it "includes" files) is correct but I can understand why the implementation is the way it is. I agree about the implementation. Trying to make it smarter is asking for trouble. Chuck
