Praying :
"Please let this first post of mine on this mailing list not be a duplicate…"
Hi there,
Is it possible to have agenda view templates to export a specific tag
hierarchy with all the usual org-export options (e.g.: title, toc,
LaTeX stuff, etc) ?
I have about 30 or so tags in org-tag-persistent-alist that I use in
hierarchy in most of my org file.
e.g. :
;; Errands
(:startgrouptag)
("@Errands")
(:grouptags)
("HardwareStore")
("GroceryStore")
("Bank")
(:endgrouptag)
I also have about ten+ org files registered in org-agenda-files all of
them using those tags.
All of this is working fine and as expected.
e.g.: Being able to view all subtags of @Errands in my agenda view
which resembles : "Headlines with TAGS match: @Errands"
So my question is,
How can I export this tag filtered agenda view to, say a pdf with
LaTeX customizations and all that nice stuff.
The goal would be to be able to leave the house with a beautifully
typeset document containing all @Errands tagged headers *and* content?
If I use org-agenda-write and write a PDF file, I get basically the
same screen as my view, no content, just the headers and in a rather
crude layout.
I guess what I need (conceptually) is a way to get all headers having
said tag (or being a child of) be compiled in a file. Then I know all
the cool export stuff (e.g.: HTML, LaTeX, etc) will be accessible.
I hope I was clear enough.
Thanks for your help.

'thinking out loud here:
Maybe I could make a errandsExport.org file in whish I could include
all my agenda files and then filter only the Errands tag.
Then I could add all the LaTeX options I want for this export file
e.g. #+TITLE: My errands document
I do have problems including all org-agenda-files files.
I tried :
#+INCLUDE: (org-agenda-files)
which obviously does not work but I do not know how to tackle this
(I'm guessing) rather simple issue.
How could I expand this org-agenda-files variable for org to include
it's content?
Is this an OK way to go about it?
Also, I have not found a way to filter tags out of an org file at export.
I know about #+SELECT_TAGS: and #+EXCLUDE_TAGS: but what if you
*only* want trees with the "Errands" tag?
Is there a way to exclude all and then select a specific tag?
Thanks for any pointers :-)

The function org-map-entries could help here. For instance...
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-map-entries
'(concat (org-get-heading) "\n" (org-get-entry))
"@Errands" 'agenda))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
...will return a list of strings containing the heading and entry text
for all of your entries tagged "@Errands".
Then you could iterate through that list and insert each item as a top
level heading in a new org file. The following, for instance, will
extract all relevant headings and insert them in a temporary buffer
("/tmp/export.org"):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect "/tmp/export.org")
(delete-region (point-min) (point-max))
(insert "* ")
(insert (mapconcat 'identity
(org-map-entries
'(concat (org-get-heading) "\n" (org-get-entry))
"@Errands" 'agenda)
"\n* "))
(org-align-all-tags))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This could be further refined. E.g., you could extract specific heading
components with the function org-heading-components and then place them
directly in a LaTeX file.
Best,
Matt
