Ah, this makes a lot more sense now. I think that this patch is better suited towards more specific md backends (like ox-hugo or ox-gfm), so they can implement title in the way that supports their import the best. Adding this probably would get in the way of better title exports for the respective org exporter derivations. > AFAIC, I think <title>...</title> or even <header>...</header> > <main>...</main>, as you suggested, are better choices. I do agree (from creating a vanilla markdown exporter standpoint), but I dislike it purely because the github markdown renderer doesn't display inline html that well (even though that's per standard). It ranges from being displayed as a H1 header to being displayed as normal (non-heading) text, depending on the way it's done. In summary, I think I'll try to get this into ox-gfm (and other org md exporters I can find) instead of ox-md. I think ox-hugo supports titles already though. Thanks again for taking a look at this! -Jay
