Hi, Org people. This is an old annoyance of the Org exporter, yet I'm not sure what would be its best resolution.
Whenever I use :export: tags on headers within an Org file, I expect only those headers and their contents to be exported (to HTML in my case), and almost nothing else, which I then consider private. However, if I have text and other contents prior to the first header of a file, those contents are indeed exported, while I would prefer not. Of course, #+TITLE and some other directives prior to the first header should be honored for their effect. One might surely debate on the best way to handle #+INCLUDE directive. I wish the above comments might generate either a correction in Org, or an advice for me! :-) François P.S. Some might suggest me that I avoid text prior to the first header. Surely, I have hundreds of Org files and for them all, have some personal conventions for their format and structure. For regularity reasons, I would much like to continue having private initial text.
