There have been request to change this, I'd like to know if this would break someone's habits. So do you use the space before the first headline to put notes/text that should not be exported?It is definitely very handy if you can put some links, internal or external, before the first headline, so that you can access some places much easier. In that case, some people may not want to export that few lines. However, I would vote for adding a new custom variable to control that behavior. It is all about choices. Nevertheless, don't export the line with `-*- mode: org -*-' or any in-buffer options.
Well, even if we export the stuff before the first headline, there would be ways to place stuff there that would not be exported, for example by using a COMMENT section like * COMMENT here is where I put my internal links etc Here is my stuff By the way, the first line with the -*- mode: org -*- should always be a comment - this is a bug I will fix.Anyway, I also like my space before the first headline for internal links
and other ramblings, so the default will remain to not exporting it. There will come an options for those who need to get this part exported as well. Thanks to everyone for input. - Carsten
