There are two exporters now - old and new. What command are you using for the export? C-c C-e a, M-x org-export-dispatch.

How is the status generated - programmatically or otherwise? > Hi, > > I want to maintain a list of news for a "message of the day" in an org > file and export it to ASCII: > > /=================================================================================\ > | #+OPTIONS: author:nil timestamp:nil toc:nil num:nil tags:nil H:3 > | > | #+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS: current > | > | #+TITLE: > | > | > | > | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | > | > | > | WELCOME TO MY COMPUTER > | > | > | > | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | > | EWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * > NEW | > | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | > | > | > | * 29.06.2012 > :current: | > | > | > | No news is good news. > | > | > | > | * 28.06.2012 > :current: | > | > | > | Everything fine today. > | > | > | > | * 20.06.2012 > | > | > | > | Down for maintenance. > | > | > | > | * 18.06.2012 > | > | > | > | My computer is now online > | > | > | > | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | > | EWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * > NEW | > | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | > \=================================================================================/ > > When exported this gives me: > > /=================================================================================\ > | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | > | > | > | WELCOME TO MY BIG COMPUTER > | > | > | > | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | > | EWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * NEWS * > NEW | > | > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > | > | > | > | 29.06.2012 > | > | ---------- > | > | > | > | No news is good news. > | > | > | > | 28.06.2012 > | > | ---------- > | > | > | > | Everything fine today. > | > | > | > \=================================================================================/ > > > Currently the footer is not exported.
