Hello,
Particularly in the Org Beamer documentation, headlines seems the most
used term while there is a tag "ignoreheading"...
I have the impression that both terms (heading and headline) are
synonyms. Though, is this true, or is there some subtle nuance?
Best regards,
Seb

I've had the same confusion before, and have ended up trying to stick to
"heading". Having worked in journalism, "headline" has very definite
associations for me. "Heading" is seen in other equivalent contexts,
like Latex, but so is "header". "Header" stomps on the toes of
email/HTML/HTTP, though, so I come back to "heading"...
Two cents,
Eric

Function names in org.el tend to use "heading".
#+begin_src sh
grep defun org.el | grep heading | wc -l
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 28
#+begin_src sh
grep defun org.el | grep headline | wc -l
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 3

I think Org uses them interchangeably. One of the three functions above
that use "headline" is `org-find-exact-headline-in-buffer', and the
function immediately below it is `org-find-exact-heading-in-directory'.

I tend to use "headline" when I want to suggest it can fold, and
"heading" when I want to refer to the contents of the headline.
This is all a bit intuitive, but I don't think this is a problem.
