Sorry, I was totally unclear...

Being a total newbie I can't say that the resulting syntax is incorrect
(is it?), but at least in the case of latex, *not expressing this
specific option creates a non-functional latex file*. 

Shouldn't the exporter take care of this? Or at least, never export the
asterisk between the "section" and the brace (just in case, "{" since
I'm not an English native speaker).

Sorry if the case is irrelevant, I tried reading before posting but
found nothing to reassure me.

Thanks... :)
