Publishing only sub-hierarchies with a given tag

Publishing only sub-hierarchies with a given tag

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

The publishing methods are quite capable. I wonder whether or not it
is possible (or easy to implement) to limit content to
sub-hierarchies that are tagged for publishing.

So if I have multiple Org-mode files in «base-directory», publish
only the (few) things that are tagged with e.g. «:publish:».




Background: I am still thinking of developing a new blog system
(with Python) where a blog entry is done only by selecting a DONE
state together with a :blog: tag. The publish-method of Org is not
that flexible yet ...

Can't you achieve (part of) this with :export: and :noexport: ?

In theory you are probably right.

But in practice I'd have to tag every heading. Additionally, I want
to use the export/noexport-mechanism independent from publishing for
blogging. And this is my use-case I was referring to.

Anyway. I have to implement my blogging system in Python I guess.
There are too many things I would like to "have it my way" :-)

Let's see, what I can accomplish in the next two months.

Sure! I am looking forward when I've got something I can announce
here :-)

I confess that I have not followed the thread closely, so it may be
already answered, but have you tried setting :select-tags to
'("publish") in your project definition?

Sorry, I did not invest further research on the publish feature of
Org since I realized that it is not suitable for my use-case anyway.
