Batch exporting a sparse tree

Batch exporting a sparse tree

[Lindsay Todd]

I am trying to write a script to extract a sparse tree, selected by
TODO keywords, from my the gtd.org file.  The sparse tree should then
be exported to an html file.  I am using this command:

emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs \
    -eval '(find-file "~/projects/gtd.org")' \
    -eval '(org-show-todo-tree "PROJECT|MAYBE")'  \
    -eval '(org-export-visible ?h nil)'

The resulting html file has entries for "PROJECT" and "NEXT"!
Meanwhile, none of my "MAYBE" entries are selected.  What might I be
doing wrong?

To answer my own question, this incantation seems to work:

emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs \
    -eval '(progn (find-file "~/projects/gtd.org")
                  (org-tags-sparse-tree t "TODO=\"PROJECT\"|TODO=\"MAYBE\"")
                  (org-export-visible ?h nil))' -kill

Is there a way to remove tags while doing this export?

Sure, use `let' to bind org-export-with-tags around the call to org- 
export-visible.

(let ((org-export-with-tags nil)) (org-export-visible ?h nil))
