I don't understand the logic in this.
In terms of final layout, do you want to have subheading appear as a
"box"? Like in some (introductory) textbooks? If so, you could program a
certain ** to be export as a certain type of object. You might even be
able to use tags to determine how output should be formatted, like in
Org-latex-beamer mode. This might require some hacking.
I do however, strongly support the idea of terminating headings, but for
other reasons.
My problem is ending * COMMENT headings.
This sketch the issue (in terms of LaTeX export):
#+begin_src emacs-org
* COMMENT This is were I put all my export settings, various notes and such
it could be placed as the very last headline, but that is somewhat
annoying an illogical to me.
** Export
#+TITLE: Test
#+AUTHOR: me
[A bunch of paper-specific #+latex_header:]
** An outline of the task at hand
[...]
And HERE I want to put text before the first subsection. That is beneath
Title but before first section.
#+end_src
In terms of LaTeX I need something like:
#+begin_src latex
\begin{document}
\maketitle
This is where I want some initial text
\section{first section}
#+end_src
Of course, I could start explicitly with a \section{intro} (i.e. *
Intro) right after \maketitle/\begin{document}, but for short papers I
find this is redundant.
Is my style the problem or should there be a way to terminate section, maybe
with an artificial new heading (similar to the :B_ignoreheading: tag)?
