Thank you very much for that suggestion.
Unfortunately, that does not seem to work for org-export-taskjuggler.
An exported taskjuggler file has extremely simple syntax. For a report, for
example, there is the header, "textreport id name {"
then a series of "attribute_name", "value" pairs such as "formats html".
Some attributes take multi-line string values, which are designated
"-8<- \n line1 \n line2 \n ->8-" (but with actual newlines rather than
"\n"s).
The taskjuggler export uses a very simple approach: when an org headline is
tagged as a report, it cycles through the properties, and for each
property, simply emits the property name followed by the property value (
org-taskjuggler-valid-report-attributes contains names such as "formats'
and "center"):

   (org-taskjuggler--indent-string
>     (org-taskjuggler--build-attributes
>      report org-taskjuggler-valid-report-attributes))

For an org source such as

** Reports

> :REPORT_KIND: textreport
> :formats:  html
> :center: -8<-
> :center+:    [#Plan Plan] | [#Resource_Allocation Resource Allocation]

> :center+:    ----
> :center+:    === Resource Allocation ===

unfortunately, (org-element-property :center) returns only "-8<-", whereas
I want it to return a 9-line string.
