Thanks! Sorry for not reading that earlier. For reference:

> When exporting sub-trees, special node properties in them can override
the above keywords. They are special because they have an ‘EXPORT_’ prefix.
For example, ‘DATE’ and ‘OPTIONS’ keywords become, respectively,
‘EXPORT_DATE’ and ‘EXPORT_OPTIONS’. Except for ‘SETUPFILE’, all other
keywords listed above have an ‘EXPORT_’ equivalent.

Thanks. That works. Just curious though.. if one specifies certain keywords
to be exporter specific keywords in the backend definition in
:options-alist, it is evident that those keywords are specifically for
export. Should the requirement to have "EXPORT_" prefix before them be
relaxed? Do you foresee things not happening right if we started doing that?

I was already doing that, but I was missing the "EXPORT_" prefix in the
property drawer keys. Thanks!

Using "EXPORT_" prefix works, but then the keys become too wordy; example:
EXPORT_HUGO_CATEGORIES.

So I have two options:

- Make use of the inbuilt EXPORT_ prefix and get rid of the "HUGO_" prefix
from the exporter backend definition. Then if categories are specified
per-Org-file, it would look like "#+CATEGORIES: foo bar", and if they are
specified per subtree, it would look like ":EXPORT_CATEGORIES: foo bar" in
the property drawer.
- Do not use the "EXPORT_" keyword in the property drawers, but then either
do the pre-export parsing, or.. above suggestion to update Org ox to not
require "EXPORT_" before FOO if FOO is a special keyword defined in the
backend?

I need exactly that. My idea is to have a single Org file with one subtree
per a blog post. So each subtree will have meta data about that post, like
data, categories, etc.
