If you like text without initial heading in the exported file, but don't mind
adding an heading in the Org buffer, you could add this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Initial text :ignoreheading:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and get what you want in the exported file.
I thought that the filter to ignore the heading only was already in Org, but a
quick test with the ASCII backend makes me thing it isn't. Anyway, you can find
recent posts on this.
Best regards,
Seb
