Re: setting export options in headline properties

[Berry, Charles]

Matt,

Check (info "(org) Export Settings")

and especially, the para near bottom:

When exporting sub-trees, special node properties can override the
above keywords.  These properties have an ‘EXPORT_’ prefix.  For
example, ‘DATE’ becomes, ‘EXPORT_DATE’ when used for a specific
sub-tree.  Except for ‘SETUPFILE’, all other keywords listed above have
an ‘EXPORT_’ equivalent.

HTH,

Chuck
