copy title text string from #+TITLE field?

copy title text string from #+TITLE field?

Next question: is there a way to take the text from the #+TITLE: field of
an org file and insert it, as text, somewhere else within the file (i.e.
inside an HTML block)?

I can't do this manually because my various org files all use an #+INCLUDE:
reference to the same org file, which contains some HTML blocks. For each
different org file, I'd like to copy the title text string from #+TITLE
field and insert it inside an <H1></H1> field in an HTML block in the
included file.

Is this possible? Thanks!

{{{title}}}  should do it. See

Actually, I'm not sure it will do: macro replacement takes place during
export, so it may or may not be enough, depending on what you really
want to do.

Thanks. I do need it only on export, but even so, it doesn't seem to be
working:

Again, it's inside an HTML code block. Not sure if there's a way to make it
work inside that block?

#+BEGIN_HTML
...
<div class="page-header">
  <h1>{{{title}}}</h1>
</div>
...
#+END_HTML

I don't think so. The doc says "...which can be referenced in
paragraphs, verse blocks, table cells and some keywords". I'm not sure
why macro expansion is restricted like that. Maybe Nicolas will chime
in.

Because macros are parsed objects. Org only parse objects in these
environments.
