Hello,
just wondering: on one hand, we have lines like
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
On the other hand, we have
#+ATTR_ASCII: :width 10
Why is the syntax (seemingly, at least) inconsistent? Why not
`width:10' or `:toc nil'?
Best,

This is a keyword.

This is an attribute.

These are two different things, so there is no real reason to make them
look like each other. Also, and more importantly, moving OPTIONS to the
other syntax is, IMO, unreadable:
#+OPTIONS: :| t :^ nil :* t :\n t
Note there is also another syntax type, e.g.,:
#+TOC: headlines 2

Thanks for your clarifications! Things seem still a bit hazy for me,
but I guess I'll have to live with it:-).
