I want to copy the text in the subtree, but not the headline. Right now I use the following hack: (org-narrow-to-subtree) (beginning-of-buffer) (next-line 1) (setq minPoint (point)) (copy-region-as-kill minPoint (point-max)) (widen) However, org-copy-subtree would do exactly what I need, IF it did not copy the headline. Then I could cut out four lines of the above code.
