How to handle titles for latex export, multiple subtrees in a single file?

How to handle titles for latex export, multiple subtrees in a single file?

I am keeping large files, with multiple subtrees, in accordance with
recommendations/suggestions.  A common roadblock for he has been that a
#+TITLE directive in a file is not local to a subtree, at least so far as I
have figured out.

What is a best practice for keeping multiple subtrees with individual titles
for export?

Thank you for any suggestions,

Alan

Hi Alan,

Does Nick Dokos' idea how to redefine \maketitle{} have a possible  
application here?

All the best,
Tom

I don't understand: if you export an individual subtree, say to LaTeX,
with C-c e 1 l, the title of the document is taken from the subtree
heading.  The #+TITLE option applies only when you export the whole file. Is
that not enough? Or is that not how it works for you? In which case, more detail
is required.

That should be

       C-c C-e 1 l

Sorry about that,
Nick

If you use C-c C-e 1, or C-c @ C-c C-e, the heading of the subtree is
exported as the title. But you can also set a title explicitly with the
EXPORT_TITLE property:

,----[ (info "(org) Export options") ]
|    When exporting only a single subtree by selecting it with `C-c @'
| before calling an export command, the subtree can overrule some of the
| file's export settings with properties `EXPORT_FILE_NAME',
| `EXPORT_TITLE', `EXPORT_TEXT', `EXPORT_AUTHOR', `EXPORT_DATE', and
| `EXPORT_OPTIONS'.
`----

Best,
Matt

I forgot about these - thanks, Matt!
