Hello, I am experiencing an issue where the Org-mode HTML exporter fails to recognize the `#+TITLE` directive. This results in an empty title tag (`<title>‎</title>`) in the HTML `<head>`.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Emacs without configurations: `emacs -Q` 2. Create a new file named `test.org` with the exact following content: #+TITLE: test file * header lorem ipsum dolor sit amet 3. Export the file to HTML using `C-c C-e h h`. Expected result: The generated HTML should contain `<title>test file</title>` in the header. Actual result: The title tag evaluates to `<title>‎</title>` and the title header is entirely missing from the HTML body: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <!-- 2026-03-06 Fri 13:09 --> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> <title>‎</title> <meta name="author" content="freeman" /> <meta name="generator" content="Org Mode" /> <style type="text/css">.......

I would appreciate any guidance on whether this is a known parsing issue or if further debugging steps are required. Regards, Kaan I. YESILYURT
