Hi Patrick,

I'd very much appreciate your proposed feature and propose an
additional idea, which has been on my mind for a while: it would be
very nice to be able export subsections of a file to different
export-files, maybe by using #+CATEGORY or another keyword. I like
having all my information in one file, but exporting this as a
singe webpage always lookes a mess.....


At the moment I use the following approach as a workaround:

1. move to subtree which should be exported
2. M-x org-narrow-to-subtree (or C-x n s)
3. manually adapt the heading-level via M-<left>
4. M-x org-export (or C-c C-e)
5. re-adapt heading-level and finally
6. M-x widen (or C-x n w)

which is quite quick....
