From 120e4ca11f021fa2d7e7abf57187c2db71942302 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Vergauwen Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2022 14:28:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lisp/ox-latex: Omit empty date * lisp/ox-latex.el: (org-latex-template): When no date is provided or the export option date is nil, the empty '\date{}' string is no longer included in the exported latex document. The default behaviour for ox-latex was to include an empty date line as '\date{}'. This empty date line can affect more complex latex templates when the date is for example set by the template on compilation, or when the date command is overwritten entirely. In this new patch, the date line is omitted from the exported document.
