exporting title in Excel (excelHtml5) doesn't work

cfung

Title shows up on PDF export, but not on Excel export. There's a duplicate question from Nov 2015 that is now closed but had no answer (https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/31369). Thanks!

Code below:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#export').DataTable( {

dom: 'Bfrtip',     
buttons: [           
     {
        extend: 'excelHtml5',
        title: 'my excel title'
     },
    {
        extend: 'pdfHtml5',
        title: 'my pdf title'
    },
    {
        extend:'print'             
    }

]

} );
} );

If you check the documentation excelHtml5 you'll see that there is no title option available.

Yeah - I think that's something that needs to be added to the Excel export. It comes up every now and then. Look out for it in 1.3.0.

Where would that title need to go in a excel file?
Adding an extra row above the table header, or as a real header for each page?
