How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. org-mode), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
region-beginningandregion-endto do what you want, you need to select that text as the region - setmarkandpointat the beginning and end, for instance. (3) Can you do what you want with a keyboard macro, i.e., interactively, recording your keystrokes? If so, provide those keystrokes/actions, as a recipe to show what you want done.org-mark-subtreedoes set the region but it marks the whole subtree (from the headline** Answerto the end of the buffer or the beginning of the next subtree at the same or higher level (whichever is encountered first). So the region includes the headline (** Answer) and the properties drawer (and possibly more things like scheduling information), both (all?) of which the OP wants to exclude from the count.org-property-end-reand subtree end.org-agenda.ellibrary has a mechanism to display the notes section of the subtree (with a toggle function) .... Perhaps the O.P. could use a similar mechanism to programmatically isolate and extract the data from said notes section.
