Task export

This task is used to export individual, or multiple, documents to the Universal Portable Format. The output of this task is a list of files and their metadata.

Documents are selected in the following order:

If srcuris is specified, select documents with those URI IDs.

Otherwise if src or (context and group) are specified, select the document with that path, or if a folder then:

if <filter> specified, search for documents within that folder.

if includes or excludes is specified, also use that to filter the documents.

If xrefdepth or <xrefs> is specified, apply them to selected files and add referenced documents.

If loadimages="true", add referenced images.
