Convention 1: Newline above headings
This seems to be used more often when the body does not have delimiting
newlines.
Configuration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . t)
(plain-list-item . t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Org example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Section
** Subsection 1
Body
** Subsection 2
Body
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Convention 2: Newline after bodies
This seems to be used more often when the body does have delimiting
newlines.
Configuration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . nil)
(plain-list-item . nil)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Org example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Section
** Subsection 1
Body
** Subsection 2
Body
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I've seen both conventions in use on Worg and in Org-mode tutorials.
I just tested these configurations and Org examples out with the patch
and it seems to work well. I've been using the patch on my systems for
a while now and haven't noticed any bad side-effects.
Let me know if you need any other information.
Regards,
Jason
