Do not add TITLE as heading to body when exporting org file

Question

This export option:

#+TITLE: My title

Does two things:

1. adds a meta tag on the document's head: <title>My title</title>
2. adds a heading at the start of the generated content div: <h1 class="title">My title</h1>

I want 1 but do not want 2. Is it possible to configure this?

Answer 1

Something like this "should" work according to http://orgmode.org/manual/Export-settings.html#Export-settings:

#+OPTIONS: title:nil
#+HTML_HEAD: <title>My special title</title>

but in my setup this doesn't actually suppress the title. it does add an extra <title> to the head block though with the text you put in.

If you make the title blank, e.g.

#+TITLE:

then there is no title, but still apparently two titles in the head. Is that close to what you want?
