* Can special blocks be nested?

Hello list,

this seems to work when exporting:

#+BEGIN_BLOCK1
Lorem ipsum
#+BEGIN_BLOCK2
dolor sit amet
#+END_BLOCK2
#+END_BLOCK1

but font locking does not (the inner block begin/end markers are not
colorized properly).

Is this construction legal?  May I depend on it being exported
correctly, or is it just an undefined behavior or something like that?

TIA,

Hi,

I'm not an expert, so what I write could be wrong.

The one you quote is fine.  This one is not:

#+BEGIN_BLOCK1
Lorem ipsum
#+BEGIN_BLOCK1
dolor sit amet
#+END_BLOCK1
#+END_BLOCK1

See the Org syntax for further details.  In particular:

It is legal. You can nest special blocks, as long as they don't have the
same type.
