  [the question in that message is about exporting to a file with a different
  file name than the default, in particular consisting partly of a datestamp]
  
  Neither - but it is not the way it works currently. Again, if you can
  present a compelling use case, maybe somebody will implement it (but
  maybe not). You are always free to implement it yourself.

    Thanks all for your responses, let me clarify a bit . . .
    
    First of all I need <#+OPTIONS: \n:t>  because when I export an org file 
    which has song lyrics in it I want to preserve the lines but accept css 
    for nice printing (and singing afterwards).
    
    Regarding, the other question, that of exporting, I need it because some 
    software like blosxom can use a date stamp in the filename to present in 
    a "timely" hierarchical manner the content (due to plugin 
    http://www.enilnomi.net/download.html#permtimez ). If it could be done, 
    a whole blog site (based on blosxom or derivatives) could be written as 
    source org files and published automatically. I know probably blosxom is 
    not good for bloging publicly but for personal use in ones PC is 
    excellent (I use it for journal, tips and hacks database, study notes, 
    book notes, songs database etc etc)
    
    But do not bother, if it can't be done, ok. Actually I tried to do 
    something myself, either through the org-publish.el or 
    org-export-generic.el without much success :(
    
    Well, thanks again

      Can you give an example of an org file, the html export as it is today,
      the html export as you want it to be and may be the css file?

        check the attachments (the song is in greek but I think will give you

          You just need BEGIN_VERSE ... END_VERSE instead of _QUOTE.

              In what way is it not the same?  Of cause it is not the same because it
              does preserve line breaks.  Why do you not like this solution as much?
              I would argue that in fact it is a *much better* solution than a dumb
              preserve-all-linebreaks setting because
              
                - it allows you to have normal text before and after the poem
                - it wraps the output into a paragraph with class "verse",
                  so you can add CSS styling to it without changing
                  other formatting
                - it is cleaner in every possible way.
              
              - Carsten

  Something happened to it?  This feature was not removed intentionally.
  I don't use this feature so I can't verify if it works or not without
  more information.
  
  Please provide an example org source file for export and instructions
  with sample output from a previous release where it did work and what
  you get now so we can understand the problem.
  
  Please also provide the version of org-mode and Emacs that you are
  using.
  
  It is possible there's a bug that needs to be fixed.

  No it's not a stupid question.  I don't think the functionality to
  export documents with a date in the filename currently exists.
  
  We all deal with the org-mode mailing list in our spare time.  I expect
  lots of people (including me) saw your original post but nobody had
  anything constructive to add.

  Bernt

    It's marked "DOES NOT WORK" in the manual. And git blame found this.

    Actually I stand corrected.  Carsten added the "DOES NOT WORK" text to
    the info manual for this feature.
    
    -\n:        @r{turn on/off line-break-preservation}
    +\n:        @r{turn on/off line-break-preservation (DOES NOT WORK)}
    
    so it seems this functionality has been orphaned (over a year ago)

  Please be patient -- I have been busier than expected lately and
  I could not read/reply all emails.  If nobody else replied to it,
  it doesn't mean it's stupid or irrelevant, it just means this is
  not a question that someone on this list can answer in less than
  5 minutes -- but it's surely on someone's TODO list.

  Dear katepano,
  
  as you can see, it has taken 11 emails on a high volume email list
  to get the answer to your simple question.  More than 1100 people have
  subscribed to this mailing list, an unknown number of people
  read it on aggregators like gmane.  That is a lot of time and energy
  spent unnecessarily.
  
  Please take more care when formulating a question to the list
  and try to give all necessary information from the start.
  Here is an example on how you *could* have formulated your
  initial mail:
  
  
  
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Dear Org- mode people,
  
  I am trying to write a poem in Orgmode, but when I am exporting
  the poem to LaTeX or HTML, all the line breaks are lost!  I would like
  to export the poem with the line break preserved.
  
  I have studied the manual and have found that
  
     #+OPTIONS: \n:t
  
  might be a way to achieve what I want.  But the feature is marked as
  DOES NOT WORK in the manual.  Does anyone know why this is the case?
  I have also search for "preserve breaks" in the mailing list archive:
  
  http://search.gmane.org/?query=preserve+breaks&author=&group=gmane.emacs.orgmode&sort=relevance&DEFAULTOP=and&xP=org%09mode
  
  and found a number of threads which match this query, but the results
  have been confusing to me.  So I am wondering if someone here could
  enlighten me what the best way is to achieve my goal.
  
  Here is an example Org-file:
  
  #+STARTUP: showall
  #+TITLE: 5-006 Τσιγάρο ατέλειωτο
  #+OPTIONS:   H:3 num:nil toc:nil \n:t
  
  *Συνθέτης:* Σωκράτης Μάλαμας
  *Στιχουργός:* Γιώργος Αθανασόπουλος
  *Έτος:* 1993

  #+END_QUOTE
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  I guess you would have gotten the right reply immediately.

  That was actually a much better message, and, as Bastien indicates,
  there is no simple answer/solution at this time.

    Dear Dominik.
    I see your point and it is accepted, of course. I admit, I should write 
    my email more clearly. Anyway, thanks for your time.
    
    On the other hand I really would like to see #+OPTIONS: \n:t working, if 
    this possible and do not cause much frustration.
    
    thanks anyway

      If you read the threads I have linked to you will see that
      this is not at all simple.  An option like this would always
      be a dirty hack that forces a backend into a state it was not
      made for.  Using special markup and environments for code, poems,
      you name it, on the other hand, is perfectly fine.
