I believe the following section of the diff should address it. ``` + (let* ((title (org-html-plain-text + (org-element-interpret-data (plist-get info :title)) info)) + ;; Set title to an invisible character instead of leaving it + ;; empty, which is invalid. + (title (if (org-string-nw-p title) title "‎")) ``` If I'm reading the code correctly, `org-html-plain-text` is a specialized form of converting org data into a plain text string with no markup. If I have that correct then I believe you're right. Is that your read as well?
