Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prior to commit: f5add81f4b2b0d39f0597967fae4076fa5f8eff0 "org-odt.el: Include author and date in the title" when exporting my resume to ODT the exporter respected my export options for author:nil and timestamp:nil.
