It seems the @@latex: @@ and @@odt: @@ does not work for lists or paragraphs with blank lines.
For instance
@@odt:
- Xyzzy!
- Nothing happens
@@
is exported to latex.
How can I have some paragraphs exported only by one backend?
The @@backend: @@ construct doesn't work with newlines. I think you can do something like this to get a selective export only for a particular backend, in this case html. I am not sure if you can also get other non-html formatting in this.
#+BEGIN_EXPORT html
conditional
multi
line
paragraph
#+END_EXPORT
