Re: [O] New exporter and dates in tables

[Bernt Hansen]

Hi Carsten!

All of my headings are followed by an inactive timestamp.  I've started
leaving a blank line before the content for the heading so the inactive
timestamp is not exported when timestamps are disabled with the <:nil
option.  This works fine for me.

Regards,
Bernt
