Hi everyone,
I would like to collect opinions on this issue:
Currently, exporting only starts at the first headline,
ignoring anything before it. There have been request to change
this, I'd like to know if this would break someone's habits.
So do you use the space before the first headline to put notes/text
that should not be exported?
Thanks
- Carsten

I pressed `R' instead of `F' in _gnus_. Now, send it to the list.

It is definitely very handy if you can put some links, internal or external, before the first headline, so that you can access some places much easier. In that case, some people may not want to export that few lines. However, I would vote for adding a new custom variable to control that behavior. It is all about choices. Nevertheless, don't export the line with `-*- mode: org -*-' or any in-buffer options. Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ < ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Well, even if we export the stuff before the first headline, there would be ways to place stuff there that would not be exported, for example by using a COMMENT section like * COMMENT here is where I put my internal links etc Here is my stuff By the way, the first line with the -*- mode: org -*- should always be a comment - this is a bug I will fix. Anyway, I also like my space before the first headline for internal links and other ramblings, so the default will remain to not exporting it. There will come an options for those who need to get this part exported as well. Thanks to everyone for input. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

The effect is the same, setting the major mode of the file. The first is a more general way, because also other local variables can be set in this way, like -*- mode: org; fill-column:60 -*- - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
