possible Bug in export-Region-as-HTML

Hello everyone,

Org-mode version 6.05b
GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE

I think I found a bug in the org-export-region-as-html function
(or, perhaps I misunderstood the meaning of the function)

---------- org file: ----------
#+TITLE:      
#+AUTHOR:    
#+EMAIL:     
#+LANGUAGE:  en
#+OPTIONS:   H:4 num:t toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:t f:t *:t TeX:t LaTeX:nil skip:t p:nil

* first
hi
** 2nd
hello
*** 3rd
it's me!
**** 4th
bye! . .<- cursor there

* this one no!
------------------------
If I select the region from the first heading, i.e. C-SPC on 
the * of "* first", and to the point between the 2 full stops 
(on line 14, column 6, you can either do M-w or not), 
then C-c C-e S-R, to export only the selected region,
the exporter 

1. exports the first heading as the title of the HTML file 
2. exports "first" as the first heading
   but does *not* export the text "hi"
3. does not use <h2 > for defining the second level
   i.e. "2nd"  , but <h3>

I attach the two files:
region.html (exported region) 
and all.html (all the document), 
unfortunately I cannot run diff here in XP :-(

cheers,
Giovanni

If you want the exporter performs correctly, 
THEN just set the mark (C-SPC) in a blank line 
*before* the heading you want to export.

> 2. exports "first" as the first heading
I cannot reproduce this anymore.

Well if the region includes another "first heading"
i.e.:
------------------
* first
 hi
** 2nd
hello
*** 3rd
* first after 3rd
it's me!
**** 4th
 bye! . .<- cursor within dots
---------------------

everything goes well: 
1. corsor on "* first", 
2. no title, 
3. "* first" is <h2> , "** 2nd" <h3> and so on.

In conclusion I think it can be added to the documentation 
of the function "org-export-region-as-html"
something like that: 
"The region to be exported should begin 
from a blank line before the headng of interest"

cheers,
Giovanni

This is fixed now, thanks for the report.  It was cause by a
interference between the following two features:

1. If you use org-export-region-as-html, only the current
    region is exported
2. If you select a subtree as a region and then use the
    normal org-export-as-html, this means that the subtree should
    be exported, using the first headline in the tree as the heading.

Maybe (2) should not even exist, or at least be a separate command,
this is quite confusing.
