Can I export from org mode to org mode?

Can I export from org mode to org mode?

[Piter_]

Hi everybody.
I keep my notes in one big org file. It have grown big
One solution could be filtering tree and display only the information I need,
another id to split it into smaller files by topic.
I would appreciate a hint on how to do the later.

Thanks.
Petro.

Not the answer you're looking for, but you can archive old stuff to a
separate org file.  Just position the cursor on a node and `C-c C-x C-a'

Hi there,

You could try something like this:  change your Org setup to include

(setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)

and then you can `org-refile' headlines in your One Big Org File to
other files, or subtrees of other files.  Use this together with the
`org-sparse-tree' to limit your view by regexp, tags or properties
before refiling; that way the file will appear less big and hairy as you
work.

Good luck!

Thanks for your replies. I will try it.
Another thing I have not been able to find is "export current node"
command (into pdf or odt (preferably)). Let's say I have a node witch contains  a table and
want to convert it into odt format. Is there a command to do it? I know
that I can copy paste it into a new file, but I will be doing it quite
often (no one around uses org-mode, and I have to share data).
Thanks.

You can first mark the subtree with C-c @ which runs `org-mark-subtree',
then subsequent export operations will only run on the marked subtree.

C-c C-e 1 + export type [p/o/h] will only export the headline on which
the cursor resides.

Fantastic feature that I only recently discovered myself :)

If various things are spread around, you can also visit those
headlines, tag with :export: (C-c C-c) and then run C-c C-e as usual
to export those. Then I'll do C-c / m export RET to show only the
headlines tagged export and untag them when I'm finished.

Hi,

To export current node:

After `C-c C-e', you get a list of options. Press `1' to export the 
current subtree rather than the whole buffer, then go on to specify 
the backend (e.g. `O' to export to ODT and open, `d' to export to pdf 
and open).

It might be a good idea if the manual page on `The export dispatcher' 
also described these options.

Yours,
Christian
