Re: Bug? Setting #+OPTIONS: title:nil Seems to Be Ignored in HTML Export.

[Tim Cross <theophilusx@gmail.com>]

I think I agree. All HTML documents should have a title tag. Not all
HTML documents need a h1-title. I think the easy solution is to just
default to document name when no title is set and don't add a
h1-title. If a title block is set, then do as is now the case.
