Nearly correct -- we're the victim of unfortunate line wrapping. It should look like: #+OPTIONS: \n:nil Ie, with an extra space. If you're a novice, as you say, you might like to see the default options template for exporting. In your org buffer, hit "C-c C-e" to get to the export dispatcher, then hit "#" for template insertion, then pick "default". It will be a lot easier to see and edit existing options than type them all in by hand.
