Defining Page Labels to Exclude Child Pages
Within the Scroll HTML Exporter template settings (and the export dialogue - prior to confirming the export) it remains possible to define Confluence page labels in order to Include and/or Exclude child pages from the exported page tree. When customizing an export template you can define the specific Confluence page labels via Export Properties > Labels
Label behaviour Explained
If multiple Confluence page labels are defined in a single field they are considered as an OR expression. For instance, if you define label-1 and label-2 in the Exclude field, child pages with either of these labels will be excluded from the generated export.
Both Include and Exclude fields can be used together with your chosen Confluence page labels.
when defining a page label in the Include field (but not in the Exclude field), all other pages without a page label and/or pages without a matching label will be excluded from the export
when defining a page label in the Include field and also in the Exclude field, you can have further control over pages that have multiple page labels defined. For example, if you have a page tree with the page label document-1 applied to all pages and also have the label document-2 applied to just a few select pages in the same page tree, it remains possible to exclude those pages with document-2 but still have document-1 pages included.
When pages in the page tree contain no page labels but page labels are defined in the export settings for the template;
if labels are specified in both the include and exclude fields, the pages without labels will be excluded in the generated export because they do not match the Include field
if labels are only specified in the exclude field, the pages without labels will be included in the generated export because they do not match the Exclude field
It is not possible to exclude the export root page (ie. parent page where the export is generated from) as this is needed for the creation of the export.
