Hello Nicolas,
I think one objection agains this patch is that, I think, MobileOrg relies on #+DRAWERS lines to be present to define drawers. Maybe the MobileOrg maintainers for both Android and iOS can chime in here?
Otherwise I don't have a significant objection against this change.
I am wondering if it is going to introduce spurious drawers and parsing errors if someone happens to have a string :xxx: on a line by itself in the buffer. This might be unlikely, but I am not really sure.
Comments?
