Change :EXPORT_FILENAME: an-interesting-article to :EXPORT_FILE_NAME:
an-interesting-article
Then,
C-c C-e C-s O o
should export to that file. I notice in the org export that the
properties are not getting exported, and even the headline is not
exported as the title though.
Here is a function that seems to do what you want.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun export-subtree ()
(interactive)
(let ((fname (concat (org-entry-get (point) "EXPORT_FILE_NAME") ".org"))
(author (org-entry-get (point) "EXPORT_AUTHOR"))
(title (org-entry-get (point) "EXPORT_TITLE"))
(date (org-entry-get (point) "EXPORT_DATE"))
(content (progn (set-buffer (org-org-export-as-org nil t t))
(buffer-string))))
;; warning you can delete something unintentionally
(when (file-exists-p fname) (delete-file fname))
(find-file fname)
(insert "#+TITLE: " title "\n")
(insert "#+AUTHOR: " author "\n")
(insert "#+DATE: " date "\n")
(insert "\n" content)
;; remove properties drawer. Kind of hacky.
(goto-char (point-min))
(re-search-forward ":PROPERTIES:")
(setf (buffer-substring
(org-element-property :begin (org-element-context))
(org-element-property :end (org-element-context)))
"")
(save-buffer)))
(export-subtree)
#+END_SRC
