Export: Exclude parts/scenes from exported file

[mkoskim]

Background

Basically, everything you write in your story body is about to be exported to draft. Basically you should not write something to body, that is not intended to be part of your draft.

Yes, basically. There are few exceptions to this rule, for example comment fields added to text.

And then there is eventually needs to export just part of your story. For example, you might want to export only certain new scenes or modified parts to your peer.

Draft solution

For that, it would be nice to exclude selected parts & scenes from export.

The simple way is to add checkbox to preview index entries to exclude that block from draft. Later we may improve the UI e.g. by making this checkbox floating, so that it only appears when hovering over the entry.

The information of exclusion can be saved to the document element itself:

• Add handling of exclude field to load & save functions, similar way that folded attribute is handled
• Add exclude field to editor buffer handling: include it to SlateJS element when converting doc to buffer and vice versa
