No title in org-export-as-odt

No title in org-export-as-odt

[Miguel Ruiz]

Hi,

Any hint to get rid of the title in a org-export-as-odt session?

I've tried 

#+OPTIONS: title:nil author:nil timestamp:nil  toc:nil
#+LANGUAGE: es

* HELLO

and I get the filename as odt file title.

If I try

#+TITLE:
#+OPTIONS: title:nil author:nil timestamp:nil  toc:nil
#+LANGUAGE: es

* HELLO

I get an empty line,  OrgTitle-styled.

Run out of ideas.

TIA

This option is not supported.

org-odt-format-preamble function says:

...
(when title
       (concat
    (org-odt-format-stylized-paragraph
     'title (org-odt-format-tags
         '("<text:title>" . "</text:title>") title))
    ;; separator
    "<text:p text:style-name=\"OrgTitle\"/>"))
...

So I only need to find a way to assign nil to title variable inside the document.

Also I might define a new option with org-export-inbuffer-options-extra, but the elaboration of the function is beyond my knowledge.

I would appreciate any idea.

I don't think you can unless you change the code. The title is set in org-lparse.el::org-do-lparse
like this:

,----
|          ...
| 	 (title       (org-xml-encode-org-text-skip-links
| 		       (or (and subtree-p (org-export-get-title-from-subtree))
| 			   (plist-get opt-plist :title)
| 			   (and (not body-only)
| 				(not
| 				 (plist-get opt-plist :skip-before-1st-heading))
| 				(org-export-grab-title-from-buffer))
| 			   (and buffer-file-name
| 				(file-name-sans-extension
| 				 (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name)))
| 			   "UNTITLED")))
|         ...
`----

so even if you arrange for the opt-plist to set :title to nil,
the buffer-file-name will override it.

#+TITLE:   <- leave a blank space here?

the new  HTML exporter works.

I had the same problem. I noticed a lot of new lines, `\n', so I tried to
remove more than "just title". For my solution, I changed insert to ignore. 


      ;; Preamble - Title, Author, Date etc.
      (ignore 
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
changed insert to ignore
       (let* ((title (org-export-data (plist-get info :title) info))
	      (author (and (plist-get info :with-author)
			   (let ((auth (plist-get info :author)))
			     (and auth (org-export-data auth info)))))
	      (email (plist-get info :email))
	      ;; Switch on or off above vars based on user settings
	      (author (and (plist-get info :with-author) (or author email)))
	      (email (and (plist-get info :with-email) email)))
	 (concat
	  ;; Title.
	  (when title
	    (concat
	     (format "\n<text:p text:style-name=\"%s\">%s</text:p>"
		     "OrgTitle" (format "\n<text:title>%s</text:title>" title))
	     ;; Separator.
	     "\n<text:p text:style-name=\"OrgTitle\"/>"))



This was in .emacs.d/elpa/org-[...]/ox-odt.el, that is, org export to odt.
Also, not sure if it was necessary, but I deleted ox-odt.elc, the compiled
version.

Can you provide your change in the form of a patch?

1. ~$ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
2. cd org-mode/lisp/
3. edit ox-odt.el by adding your change
4. in Emacs, hit `C-x v =' from the file to create the patch
5. save the patch buffer to ox-odt.el.patch
5. send ox-odt.el.patch to the list, using [PATCH] in the subject line

Thanks in advance!

If you are seeing `org-export-as-odt' then you are using old Org (<
8.0).  Old exporters are no longer maintained.  So you upgrade to the
latest Org (org > 8.0) via M-x list-packages.

Btw, I have a provided a fix as part of my ELPA package[fn:1].  If

   #+TITLE:

is made of just whitespaces, the exported document will no longer have
the corresponding fieldnames.

I wanted to return to this and attempt it, here is my first patch ever: 


diff --git a/lisp/ox-odt.el b/lisp/ox-odt.el

           (author (and (plist-get info :with-author)
                (let ((auth (plist-get info :author)))


I installed a fresh version of org-mode from Elpa or Melpa before doing 
this. (I am just now looking a little into the maint branch.)

In the long-long run, when I go to insert the code, I wonder why we don't 
make removing the title an option in ox.el. Otherwise, I might've 
considered figuring out how to expose the above ad-hoc solution as a 
variable in the customize group. I don't know what the use cases are for 
the title. So, a temporary solution might go, org-odt-export-preamble off 
and on.

(ETA: then, perhaps the individual exporters should be focused on, before 
considering pulling variables back to ox.el.) 

Thank you always for org-mode,

Brady

P.S., so... I went ahead and tried the exposed variable fix, and that is 
below: (This was my first shot at making a Emacs customizable variable, 
blindly with no RTFM, and... I don't think it works as is.)

The way not to insert a title is simply to add an empty title like this:

#+TITLE:

Otherwise, Org falls back on the file name.

This could be done with a new `org-export-with-title' option but I
would rather stick to the current way of doing it (an empty value
for #+TITLE:).

Thanks anyway for the patches,
