Hi, Org people!
A while ago, we discussed capitalization on this list, as the manual was
irregular on things like #+BEGIN_SRC and #+begin_src. After some
discussion and hesitation, Bastien decided to stick to upper case in the
manual, and despite it was not my own preference, I amended all my Org
files to use upper case, for consistency.
Now, I have a script, run at least daily, which checks all my Org files
for a lot of nits. After I started to study some of Babel facilities
(yesterday), my script now trips on Babel results:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~/fp/notes/notes.org:33: Wrong capitalization
~/fp/notes/notes.org:57: Wrong capitalization
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And indeed, I get, trying an example taken from this mailing list:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results output
citation()
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
To cite R in publications use:
R Development Core Team (2011). R: A language and environment for
statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing,
Vienna, Austria. ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org/.
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
@Manual{,
title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
author = {{R Development Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = {2011},
note = {{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0},
url = {http://www.R-project.org/},
}
We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it
when using it for data analysis. See also ‘citation("pkgname")’ for
citing R packages.
#+end_example
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If I correct #+begin_example to #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE, etc. and retry, the
result returns to lower case.
I could of course modify my nit-picking program so it recognizes the
#+RESULTS: case, but my feeling is that Org should be consistent overall
on capitalization. And by telling this, of course, I disregard my own
preference. Consistency has a stronger appeal to me.
