I'm trying to come up with the best way to insert author and date
information after the title h1 in an HTML export of a single org file.
This may seem silly, but I have a CSS file that turns the title h1 and
author info into a title page for printing. I'm doing this as opposed
to using latex.
I could use the HTML preamble to insert the title h1 and author info
myself, but I'm not sure how to make the preamble dynamic enough to
capture the title of the page being exported since it can only be a
string.
Any suggestions?

Are you publishing on the web, or on paper? What do you have against
using LaTeX? Do you have much experience with it? As weird as the
markup looks, it is really worth it to me.
I want you to know that LaTeX is worth it, in case you have yet to give
it a fair shot.

I haven't given LaTex a fair shot yet, but it is the next technology
on my list of "things to learn".
What I'm doing right now is using the HTML export from org-mode as a
way to generate requirements outlines for my clients. I then use a
CSS file that I've written that makes the HTML look very nice so that
I can export it to PDF.
I realize that LaTex is a better way to go to PDF, but I do have some
concerns:
1. A lot of software and configuration needs to be in-place to use
LaTex
2. The default fonts used when converting LaTex to PDF are ugly, to
say the least
3. HTML and CSS is much more accessible to me right now
Joel, want to point me in the right direction for learning LaTex and
producing nice looking PDF documents?

Just a note: If you put \usepackage{lmodern} before the
\begin{document} line of every LaTeX document you write, you'll never
have to worry about ugly fonts in PDF again (there are many other
solutions to this problem, but this is the easiest).

What system are you using? TeX systems are pretty easy to install, and
highly automated. If you are using Windows, MikTeX does all the dirty
work for you, including a synaptic-esque package manager. For Mac or
Linux there's TeXLive, which I haven't used, but my experience is that
it's all pretty easy to install (although it can take forever to
download, often >700 MB). For Debian-based systems, all you have to do
is find the TeX system in your package manager of choice. I use
Slackware, and teTeX came with the system (although i've urged the
maintainers to start using TeXLive).

Yes, I'm aware of that, but that depends on the fonts on your system and
a few other variables. With MikTeX and other systems, installing new
fonts is pretty easy, but it does take some learning to get all the ins
and outs. I use Garamond for most of my documents, and it prints beautifully.

The best thing to do is visit www.tug.org, get the "Not So Short
Introduction to LaTeX" and read about it for a while. There are tons of
tutorials on the internet, and you'll find a lot of them at tug.org.
Most TeX systems come with pdflatex, which directly produces pdf, with
limitations (pdflatex can't use eps graphics, my preferred format, but
must use png or gif --- someone please correct me if I'm wrong). But
for that you can just generate the dvi and then use dvipdf to get a
pdf. Again when I use my own fonts
("\usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign}") then I get nice results with
printing and pdf. I used dvipng to produce this attachment.

Ouch, please do not forget to write \sin instead of sin, or you are
writing the product of s, i, and n..... :-)

Oops, unfortunately in my current position I don't write out a lot of
equations, so I'm rusty ;) That will change very soon, though.

What I tend to do is convert the eps to a pdf. There is a epstopdf
command (which I think comes with xpdf.)

Joel, thanks for the thorough response. I'll definitely read the
tutorials at tug.org and make this happen, it's been a long time
coming.
Next time you come back home to Boulder for a vacation, I'll take you
out for a beer.
Thanks again.

Yeah, there are plenty of conversion utilities: for some reason when I
send people eps and they are using Macintosh, it won't just display it
as Postscript...I find that ironic given Apple's history with Postscript.
