Can I publish one block of org file?

Can I publish one block of org file?

[Water Lin]

I am using org to write my draft. After finish the writing, I will copy
to my blog poster and edit something like linker, pictures.

This way works but is a little slow and should be very careful or else
it is very easy to forget some linkers, pictures, etc.

I am trying to find a way to write full text in org mode. I think it is
a good way to do following:
---------------------------
After I finish the writing, I select the block of my article, then use a
command to publish it to basic html and copy the html code into memory.


I don't need whole html elements, just need the customized html code for
the block.

I try to read the org help doc but can't find anything related to
it. Please give me a start stone, thanks.......

C-u M-x org-export-region-as-html

or

C-u C-c C-e R

From the doc-string:

,----
| org-export-region-as-html is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| `org-html.el'.
| 
| (org-export-region-as-html beg end &optional body-only buffer)
| 
| Convert region from beg to end in org-mode buffer to HTML.
| If prefix arg body-only is set, omit file header, footer, and table of
| contents, and only produce the region of converted text, useful for
| cut-and-paste operations.
| If buffer is a buffer or a string, use/create that buffer as a target
| of the converted HTML.  If buffer is the symbol `string', return the
| produced HTML as a string and leave not buffer behind.  For example,
| a Lisp program could call this function in the following way:
| 
|   (setq html (org-export-region-as-html beg end t 'string))
| 
| When called interactively, the output buffer is selected, and shown
| in a window.  A non-interactive call will only return the buffer.
