I thought about it a long time ago. However, I could not, and still cannot, find an interesting use case for it in Org. This is a good indicator that we do not need the feature. > This is in the same spirit than what it already do for the affiliated > attrs_X element. Not really. For source blocks, arguments on the same line as the opening string "BEGIN_SRC" are treated as a "HEADER" affiliated argument, which is specific to Babel. OTOH, although almost every element type can have affiliated keywords, only a small part could accept such "special parameters". In a nutshell, this isn't symmetrical. > It's not a lot of help but it would at least spare > backends from having to parse the remaining of the opening line as > I did. So far, none of our back-ends need this, even though they are relatively complex. So, we could use the room there if one day, we need it for something, but until then, I don't think we should extend syntax just because we can do it. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
