OK, I can understand that but if, as I now see in 13.2, both TITLE and EXPORT_FILE_NAME are export settings, why does it behaves as I expect for TITLE (the title I get is indeed 'bart') but not for EXPORT_FILE_NAME? > [...] > > By contrast, with this file > > > > # * foo > > # #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: foo.pdf > > # #+TITLE: foot > > # fofoo > > * bar > > #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: bar.pdf > > #+TITLE: bart > > babar > > This file contains no export settings. I don't understand that: what about the line '#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: bar.pdf'?? > # #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: foo.pdf line is not an export setting.

Something like "Also note that, as mentioned in 13.2, export settings, being global, take precedence over the 'COMMENT' keyword." Finally, I'd appreciate a "SUPERCOMMENT" keyword, which would be equivalent (when exporting) to removing the tree altogether (or, as I understand, prepending '# ' to each line of the tree). -- EOST (École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre) ITE (Institut Terre & Environnement) | alain.coch...@unistra.fr 5 rue René Descartes [bureau 106] | Phone: +33 (0)3 68 85 50 44 F-67084 Strasbourg Cedex, France | [ slot available for rent ]
