Actually, dang! I spoke too soon. While links now work consistently before and after exports, their description matches the destination heading, not the source link. But if we case-fold now, it would make a lot more sense to match the case of the source link, as it enables one to link [[capitalized heading]]s. Otherwise, we case-fold with no significant benefits, as far as I can see. Without also fixing this part, my problem with Org remains. :( >> [...] call to 'org-toggle-link-display' does nothing. > It does nothing because it is one of the options that must be set before > Org mode is loaded. Resolving buffer-local variables happens after the > major mode is loaded. I have noticed that 'org-use-extra-keys', for example, is documented as "must set it before loading Org", but there is nothing similar in the 'org-link-descriptive' docstring. So perhaps this is a bug, not a feature? Upon a quick look, 'org-toggle-link-display' does exactly two things: 1. (setq org-link-descriptive (not org-link-descriptive)) and 2. (org-link-descriptive-ensure), where 'org-link-descriptive-ensure' wraps exactly one expression: (org-fold-core-set-folding-spec-property (car org-link--link-folding-spec) :visible (not org-link-descriptive)) Could Org execute this expression after loading a document, given the buffer-local value of 'org-link-descriptive' necessitates it?
