Select specific sections or pages for convertion.

[OliverShenYah]

Current

Currently, the convertion will always happen to the entire notebook.

Expectation

Select specific sections or pages in the notebook for convertion.

Discussion

Is there any way to make the convertion happen to only part of the selected notebook, such as a several sections of pages or just several pages with specific names.

This would definitely be handy feature. Perhaps there can be a config option that match Sections or Pages by name. It will work if one only uses predictable and simple-to-type Section and Page titles.

However, in reality many people have all kind of names and characters for sections and page titles. So a regex is going to be better. The only downside to regex is that it is not going to be usable for non-technical users.

If I can think of a way for both non-technical and technical users to be able to select sections or pages, i'll definitely implement this. Perhaps others might have some ideas.

Perhaps instead of a config setting to match the name (or regex), if there was a different config setting for "$userSpecifiedPages", the script can prompt the user based on what it finds in the notebook? For example:

All Sections or Specify Section (comma separated):
[0] - All (default)
[1] - In Progress
[2] - Archive

>2

All Pages or Specify Pages (comma separated):
[0] - All (default)
[1] - Page 1
[2] - Page 2
[3] - Page 3
[4] - Page 4
