9.4 maint docstring === org-export-select-tags is a variable defined in ‘ox.el’. ... 1) does this take into account subtree export, region export, and narrowed buffers? if so, perhaps the docstring should change. my expectation is that just having :export: in a huge buffer should not affect exporting a tiny part of it. by the principle of least surprise. it is sorta surprising enough that something buried in a subtree can affect the whole export of that subtree. :) 2) org-export-with-tasks set to - nil will not export a task subtree regardless of :export: tag underneath - t will export regardless thus basically overriding the export tag feature with the export with tasks feature. is that intended? i can see that it could be the best choice, but could also see it being useful to use the export tag even with tasks. i wonder when was the last time there was a change to this variable or its behavior? i suspect there might have been a change, at least wrt top level todo kw stopping export, but i don't know.
