Omit top level heading in latex export?

Omit top level heading in latex export?

[Indraneel Majumdar]

  Hi,

I'm running into a problem with latex export. I have several essays 
under a top level heading "Essays". How can I export say only one essay 
without the top level heading "Essays" also showing up in the output as 
a "Section"? I want the heading of my essay to be displayed as a latex 
section. Is this possible in any simple way? The manual describes some 
option to define my own class in the .emacs file, but I couldn't 
understand that very well.
eg.

* Essays
** Essay One
** Essay Two

I want to export only "Essay Two" (eg with a :export: tag) and don't 
want "Essays" to show up.


Thanks in advance,
Indraneel

What about just exporting the subtree you want? I believe the way to
do that is to go to the subtree and while exporting limit the export
with `1'. Hope this helps.

Yes, that exports the subtree (Essay Two) and also exports "Essays" (but 
not "Essay One"). I do not want "Essays" to show up at all.

In that case you can try the `noexport' tag on the top level headline
with this header `#+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport' option. I just
tried it, seems to work pretty well.

Does not work for me. It blocks out the entire tree, even if I have 
:export: on "Essay Two". From the manual, it seems that is how it should be.

Could be a result of some setting in my setup. Only remotely relevant
variable I could find was `(setq org-hierarchical-todo-statistics
nil)'. I don't usually export my trees except for beamer
presentations. Not sure what else you could try. Sorry. :(

I cannot replicate this. Take the following subtree:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Essays
** Essay One
Some text.
** Essay Two
Some special text.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With the latest org from git, if I press "C-c C-e 1 h" while the cursor
is on (or under) the Essay Two headline, the html output looks like
this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Essay Two

Some special text.

  Thanks Matt and Suvayu,

I messed up with my lisp and that was causing the error. So now I have 
another problem, how to fix the lisp code...

I'm using a org export hook to make all targets invisible by a regex 
replace. This is probably messing up the selection, so what do I do to 
not lose the selected text till the exporter takes over (or probably not 
tamper with the selection or something)? I don't know any lisp.

(defun regex-replace (regex string)
   (goto-char (point-min))
   (while (re-search-forward regex nil t)
     (replace-match string)))

(defun invisibletag()
   "Make all targets invisible"
   (regex-replace "\\(<<.+?>>\\) " "\\1(INVISIBLE) ")
)
(add-hook 'org-export-first-hook 'invisibletag)

  I fixed my lisp. Just to archive the solution, here's my new defun:

(defun regex-replace (regex string)
   (point-to-register 'rrr)
   (goto-char (point-min))
   (while (re-search-forward regex nil t)
     (replace-match string))
   (jump-to-register 'rrr))

Re: Omit top level heading in latex export?

[Hsiu-Khuern Tang]

Hi all,

Even though this problem has been solved by exporting a region
consisting of a single subtree ... I've always thought that it would
be nice to be able to get the same behavior using org-publish, so that
it can be used more easily in scripts.  To be concrete: if I have this
structure:

* Essays        :export:
** Essay One
** Essay Two

I'd like to be able to use a publishing option to export "Essays" and
get output like

Section 1 Essay One
Section 2 Essay Two

(which is what we get when we select the subtree "Essays" as the
active region before exporting) instead of

Section 1 Essays
Section 1.1 Essay One
Section 1.2 Essay Two

-- 
Best,
Hsiu-Khuern.
