Hi, I found an inventive solution by Suvayu to discard headlines from export here [1], but the 8.0+ solution throws an error in my environment.
(defun sa-ignore-headline (contents backend info) "Ignore headlines with tag `ignoreheading'." (when (and (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex 'html 'ascii) (string-match "\\`.*ignoreheading.*\n" (downcase headline))) (replace-match "" nil nil headline))) (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-headline-functions 'sa-ignore-headline) --> string-match: Symbol's value as variable is void: headline It seems it should actually be: (defun sa-ignore-headline (contents backend info) "Ignore headlines with tag `ignoreheading'." (when (and (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex 'html 'ascii) (string-match "\\`.*ignoreheading.*\n" (downcase contents))) (replace-match "" nil nil contents))) (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-headline-functions 'sa-ignore-headline) I'm not allowed to reply to the answer on stackexchange, so I'm posting here. Thanks. hjh [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10295177/is-there-an-equivalent-of-org-modes-b-ignoreheading-for-non-beamer-documents
