Indeed, but every variation needs to be handled specifically, so it ultimately counts as a different syntax. > Even if somebody else implements this and provides a patch?... Yes, please. This is a matter of design, not implementation. I'd like to stabilize Org syntax as much as possible. As a rule of thumb, I would only consider syntax changes only for: 1. broken syntax 2. missing feature 3. syntax hindering compatibility (e.g., conditional syntax) Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
