Yes, and it works. However, if I don't explicitly specify "notwanted"
as excluded, the whole file is exported. I guess I don't understand the
meaning of "select_tags": I would like this to specify those trees to be
exported only if the given tags are present. I would expect the
behaviour to be the same whether I specify excluded tags or not when
selected tags are given, other than exclusion of subtrees within
selected trees.
But I guess my understanding is completely wrong. And re-reading the
documentation doesn't make things clearer for me. There seems to be a
gap between selected and excluded tags which is, to me, ambiguous. If
nothing is specified for either, the documentation implies default
values (:export: and :noexport: respectively). However, the behaviour
is not consistent with this as, if I do not specify any selected or
excluded tags, the default behaviour is to export everything.
I guess I could look at the code to see what the underlying logic really
is. For another day, when I have some time -- it's start of term and
I'm doing the headless chicken impression getting material ready for the
students.
Anyway, with the proper combination of both select and exclude tags, I
have managed to get what I want.
Thanks,
eric
