Thanks Aaron and Kyle. I perhaps confused the fact that the line which started with a ; was showing up in the export to understand that the line was not being treated as it should. But in my earlier org files, I always started this line with a ; and it used to work fine. Perhaps (perhaps), the behaviour has changed in terms of not treating lines starting with ; as comments in org. Be that as it may, starting the line with a # works. Thanks again, Vikas
