Bug: Angle brackets in org-time-stamp-format loses in html export

Bug: Angle brackets in org-time-stamp-format loses in html export

[T. V. Raman]

org.el has the following definition:

(defconst org-time-stamp-formats '("<%Y-%m-%d %a>" . "<%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M>")
  "Formats for `format-time-string' which are used for time stamps.
It is not recommended to change this constant.")

The above loses when you use org-insert-export-options-template
and then create HTML --
the #+ date: line ends with  angle brackets around the date, and
these eventually land up in the meta tag  within an attribute
value.

The problem here is of course brain-dead html/sgml/xml which
doesn't like angle brackets in attribute values.

Thanks, another org-export irritant: could we lose the "#+ insert some
descriptive text here" line from the default template?

We could, but the "template" is not really meant as a template, but  
more as a reminder of al the possibilities for that type of  
configuration.  I myself hardly ever insert the template - only when I  
have forgotten how things work.

for me it's the other way around, I can never remember how it
works, and insert it automatically -- especially the export line

Hi Raman,

I have thought about it, and I think you are right, we should remove it.

This made more sense when we always skipped the text before the first  
heading, but now, this is not the default, so there is a simpler way  
to get text before the first heading.

OK, it is gone.
