I am creating a document by exporting a specific heading via C-c C-e C-s. I want to specify a title for that exported doc (which is not the text of the heading). I also want to be able to export a parent heading or the whole doc, and in that case I just want the heading to be what it would be without setting a title.

Can I do this somehow, perhaps by setting a particular property?

I think you can use an :EXPORT_TITLE: property as follows:

 * Heading to be exported with C-c C-e C-s...
   :PROPERTIES:
   :EXPORT_TITLE: Title of the document when subtree is exported 
   :END:

Some other properties can be useful:

:EXPORT_DATE: :EXPORT_AUTHOR: :EXPORT_TITLE: :EXPORT_OPTIONS: :EXPORT_FILE_NAME:

They are discussed at the end of the Export Settings section of Org manual.

  • Is it possible to export a long title in two lines? According to the manual that works with #+TITLE: but it is not working with two :EXPORT_TITLE: lines... :-(. Incidentally, I am trying to clone a word template, and so the export is into ODT. – Ajned Aug 29 '20 at 7:34
