Hi Ben,

Also, see this section

http://orgmode.org/manual/Selective-export.html#Selective-export

As the manual says, "This behavior is governed by two variables:
org-export-select-tags and org-export-exclude-tags." These are both
lists of tags. The default values contain a single tag each: "export"
and "noexport" respectively.

So, e.g.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+title: Selective export test 1

* This subtree is exported 					     :export:
  Stuff in expored subtree
* But not this one as there is an `export' tag in the buffer
  Stuff that won't be exported
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---



--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+title: Selective export test 2

* This subtree will be exported, with a single subtree exclusion
  h1 contents
*** h1.2
    h1.2 contents
*** h2.2 (won't be exported) 					   :noexport:
    h2.2 contents
* This subtree will be exported
  Stuff that will be exported
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---



--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+title: Selective export test 3

* This subtree will be exported, with a single subtree exclusion     :export:
  h1 contents
*** h1.2
    h1.2 contents
*** h2.2 (won't be exported) 					   :noexport:
    h2.2 contents
* This subtree won't be exported, since an export tag is present in the buffer
  Stuff that won't be exported
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Dan

p.s. In the first and third case, is it arguable that the :export: tag
should not appear in the exported HTML/pdf?
