TODO Ways to ignore sections in org-mode

Problem description

There are several ways of ignoring/not including section in org-mode document:

  1. noexport tag Prevents exporting section (org-babel source block will be executed during export).

  2. :ignore: tag Section content will be included in the final document, however the headline will be ignored (inside the document and in toc) (org-babel source block will be executed during export).

  3. :UNNUMBERED: property: After adding:

    * Section 1                   :noexport:
,:PROPERTIES:
,:UNNUMBERED: t
,:END:
    
This section will not be included in the TOC.
    
** Subsection 1
Some content here.
    
** Subsection 2
More content here.

    Now, when you generate the TOC using `C-c C-c` on the TOC headline or by running the command `M-x org-update-statistics-cookies`, “Section 1” will not be included, but the subsections will still appear in the TOC.
