Any clever idea, someone? > :-) Currently the only way to exclude an *entire* file from the publication process is to play with the :exclude parameter in `org-publish-project-alist'. We could have a #+PUBLISH: option allowing to tell whether a file should be published or not. If we had this, we could then check whether a section without the :noexport: tag has been modified... and dynamically set the buffer publication option based on this. But this is rather a complicated way, and the gain is merely about speed. If someone comes up with something more clever, let's see. Or if someone would find a new #+PUBLISH option useful outside of this use-case, let's also see. Thanks, -- Bastien
