Hi,
This is my first post to this group, so I'm sorry if I'm skipping any
conventions. And sorry for the dense subject line, I didn't want it to
be too long. Thanks a lot for the hard work on org-mode.
I have started recently to organise my lecture notes into a datetree.
Every now and then I have to export my notes, usually to pdfs, in order
to share them with friends, or study/read myself in printed form. Now,
when I export to pdf an item, the "\maketitle" header contains the date
from the file's "#+DATE:" thing[1]. I'd like it to contain the date for
the current item, i.e. if it is under the "*** 2015-09-16 Wednesday"
heading, the pdf to have "16 Sep 2015". Now I guess that I can do some
temporary-buffer hack to make this happen, but I wonder if there already
exist a /normal/ way to achieve this.
My overall structure is like this:
# $Id: Italianistica.org,v 1.5 2015/09/30 18:08:27 gk Exp gk $
#+TITLE: Appunti di Italianistica
#+STARTUP: contents
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil tags:nil
#+LaTeX_CLASS: gk-appunto
#+DATE:
* 2015
** 2015-09 September
*** 2015-09-16 Wednesday

[2015-09-16 Wed]
amare \ne voler bene
_amare_ si usa quasi sempre _all'interno di una coppia_
_voler bene_ si usa tra _amici, parenti, ecc._
When I export-subtree the bottommost entry, I want the date in the
exported pdf to be 2015-09-16, not today, nor the date in "#+DATE:",
which is deliberately empty to not let a wrong date to appear in the
exported file.
I tried setting a date property which didn't have an effect, and also
adding a "#+DATE: [a date...]" under every lecture note entry heading,
in which case the date of the last entry in the file got used, so if I
exported the notes from 2015-09-16, and the last time I added a note was
the 19th, the exported file had the date 2015-09-19.
So how can I, if I can at all, achieve what I want without tucking the
tree into a temp buffer, adding the correct #+DATE into it, copying the
org header and exporting? Is there a standard way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the list. Sorry for the lack of responses to your post.
It's a high traffic list, and sometimes posts fall through.

Have you tried the EXPORT_DATE property? I believe it'd look something
like this
* 2015
** 2015-09 September
*** 2015-09-16 Wednesday
**** İtalyanca Dil Uygulamaları I :2015_2016:ITDE2016:
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_DATE: 2015-09-16
:END:
which you could export using with export scope set to "subtree".

Hello,
Thanks for your response. As you suggest, I switched to using the
EXPORT_DATE property. It works as expected.
Now a little problem that I have is that I cannot have timestamps like
«10 September 2015» in my exports, but a literal inactive timestamp.
This is because in the related capture template, I have to use `%u' to
add a timestamp, which adds an inactive timestamp, reusing the date that
I entered into the datetree prompt. There is the %<...> directive for
the capture templates which allows me to put in a time format, as in
`format-time-string', but it gets its value from `current-time', not
from the date of the datetree prompt. Now I do not know if this is a
feature or a bug, but if I want to copy over lecture notes from some
time ago, it's a problem.

Perhaps someone can suggest a better method, but what about adding an
export filter that formats inactive timestamps the way you want?
Something like
(setq org-latex-inactive-timestamp-format "%s")
(defun u/format-inactive-timestamp (text backend info)
(when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex)
(format-time-string
"%D" (apply #'encode-time (org-parse-time-string text)))))
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-timestamp-functions
'u/format-inactive-timestamp)

If I understand you correctly, this is now a formatting issue for the
PDF export? If so, look at
,----[ C-h v org-latex-inactive-timestamp-format RET ]
| org-latex-inactive-timestamp-format is a variable defined in `ox-latex.el'.
| Its value is "\\textit{%s}"
|
| Documentation:
| A printf format string to be applied to inactive timestamps.
|
| You can customize this variable.
