Nearly correct -- we're the victim of unfortunate line wrapping. It
should look like:
#+OPTIONS: \n:nil
Ie, with an extra space. If you're a novice, as you say, you might like
to see the default options template for exporting. In your org buffer,
hit "C-c C-e" to get to the export dispatcher, then hit "#" for template
insertion, then pick "default". It will be a lot easier to see and edit
existing options than type them all in by hand.
Yours,
Eric
