. . . I'm getting confused about how to use these features. Sometimes, by
chance, I'll find an example/use. but often as not I'm looking at a raw
reference dump with no clue how to use (best practices) these features. For
example, org-id has http://orgmode.org/worg/org-api/org-id-api.html but no
real explanation on what it is or how to use it. Googling doesn't bring
anything either. in-buffer settings (
http://orgmode.org/manual/In_002dbuffer-settings.html#In_002dbuffer-settings)
is fairly cryptic for me too. Sometimes I can figure out what's going on,
but I'm far from having a "best use" understanding. For example, I can look
at the "source" for at WORG page (
http://orgmode.org/worg/worg-setup.org.html) and see:
#+STARTUP: align fold nodlcheck hidestars oddeven lognotestate
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) INPROGRESS(i) WAITING(w@) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c@)
#+TAGS: Write(w) Update(u) Fix(f) Check(c)
#+TITLE: Worg setup on the http://orgmode.org server
#+AUTHOR: Worg people
#+EMAIL: mdl AT imapmail DOT org
#+LANGUAGE: en
#+PRIORITIES: A C B
#+CATEGORY: worg
#+OPTIONS: H:3 num:nil toc:nil \n:nil ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t tex:t
d:(HIDE) tags:not-in-toc
I can then sift through the reference "in-buffer settings," but I'm not
much wiser on the whytofors. Has anybody, tutorial-wise, really sorted
these concepts out properly?
One task I'd like to have is the ability to embed keywords throughout an
org file so that a parser can find and grab these sections. I'm assailed
with seemingly many ways: PROPERTIES, org-element, org-id, tags -- most/all
of which I have only the dimmest grasp.
Thanks,
LB

tags & properties are standard for this I would say ...

The link above was obsolete, as was the whole org-api directory on
Worg, now deleted.

Looks like you try to groke all at once: I suggest you learn Org
incrementally, sticking to one concept, reading about it in the manual
and testing it in an Org buffer.

Start with tags.
A tag is a keyword attached to a headline this way:
* This is a headline :tag:
