Hi,

The simple attached patch adds 2 defcustoms to org-odt, allowing the author
and date lines to be suppressed in the exported file.  I have wnated this
for a really long time, so submitting to the group in cas other people also
want it.

I would have liked to add this as an option but don't know how!  Thanks,
Matt

Subject: [PATCH] Make date and author lines optional.

* ox-odt.el (org-odt-print-author-line, org-odt-print-date-line)

Adds defcustoms org-odt-print-author-line and
org-odt-print-date-line, which, when non-nil,
suppress these elements in the final exported odt.

Can you explain what is the difference between this and something like:

#+options: author:nil date:nil

-- 
And I faced endless streams of vendor-approved Ikea furniture. . .

ha!  I thought odt export didn't honor those variables -- but I must have
had something wrong in my environment, because now I see that it does.
Sorry to waste your time!
