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
