Having org-mode beamer / latex to ignore below a certain tag

Question

I want to speedup compilation by instructing org-mode/latex/beamer to ignore everything coming after it.

My document takes a bit of time to process code with pigment and the like

Is it possible to do so ?

Answer 1

You can mark headings with tags, and set options for including and excluding tags from export.

E.g.

#+EXCLUDE_TAGS: slow

* My work
** This section takes time   :slow:
** This other section is OK
