verbatim html export of org headers

Question

How would you export org headers verbatim to HTML?

My org file looks like this:

#+TITLE: my-org-file.org

An example of org-style headers:

#+begin_example
* Title1
** Subtitle1a
** Subtitle1b
* Title2
** Subtitle2a
#+end_example

The expected output when exporting to HTML (org-export-dispatch; C-c C-e h o) is:

my-org-file.org

An example of org-style headers:

* Title1
** Subtitle1a
** Subtitle1b
* Title2
** Subtitle2a

The actual output is:

my-org-file.org

An example of org-style headers:#+beginexample

1 Title1
1.1 Subtitle1a
1.2 Subtitle1b
2 Title2
2.1 Subtitle2a

#+endexample

I have tried the other export options (export ascii, quote, verse, html export) and each produces the same result.

Answer 1

Simply insert a leading space in front of each line in the example block:

#+TITLE: my-org-file.org

An example of org-style headers:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
 * Title1
 ** Subtitle1a
 ** Subtitle1b
 * Title2
 ** Subtitle2a
#+END_EXAMPLE
