2 Advantages

org-export-as-html	Export and overwrite <filename>.html.
org-export-as-html-to-buffer	Export to buffer.
org-export-region-as-html	Export region to buffer.
	Prefix arg. causes org header and

Org export functions ignore text before first heading unless variable org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading is nil. However, text before first heading is exported as-is without HTML tags inserted.

1. First line is story title in plain text.
2. Second and succeeding lines are story body with org mode markup inserted as desired.

6 Blosxom story format

1. First line is story title in plain text.
2. Second and succeeding lines are story body, which may optoonally be formatted with HTML tags.
