headers on special blocks

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

Hi all,

I am playing around with storing data in special blocks. For example,
here is an example bit of "data" which is the CH4 (methane) molecule in
SMILES format in a MOLECULE block.


#+header: :format smiles
#+name: methane-smiles
#+BEGIN_MOLECULE
C
#+END_MOLECULE

Is is legal syntax to put a header in like this? It works, as in it
parses to

(special-block
          (:type "MOLECULE" :begin 240 :end 323 :hiddenp nil
          :contents-begin 305 :contents-end 307 :post-blank 1
          :post-affiliated 288 :header
                 (":format smiles")
                 :name "methane-smiles" :parent nil))


but I haven't seen any documentation for headers on a special block.

Thanks,
