I particularly like the idea of narrowing, which I understand the markdown mode doesn't offer. I envisage my .org file having the following structure: * resources * reviews ** review 1 ** ... ** review n * release ** Chapter 1 ** .. ** Chapter n The actual 'contents' being under 'release'. What I want is to effectively say to org "copy everything under 'release', promote them all to top level headings and then export them all as markdown. I can do this manually with killing and yanking, and if I scratch my head a bit (till it bleeds actually) then I expect I could even do this in a function. However, either this is a really common use-case in which I expect I am missing something in org-mode _or_ this is a weird use-case in which case I don't want to start and would rather be more idiomatic. Any thoughts/guidance welcome! Thanks, Colin Sent with my mu4e
