Re: [PATCH] Rename headline to heading
this patch looks pretty good to me. My only suggestion is that the need to update capture templates be made more explicit in the NEWS.org file. I'm assuming this patch would only be applied to the next release and not maint branch. Probably important to try and apply this before the main branch moves on too much to avoid merge issues. While none of what is in the patch is terribly complex, it does have a lot of tough points and I imagine it could be fragile wrt underlying branch changes. André A.

I'm not convinced a transition period will help in this case. At some point, users will need to update their capture templates regardless. Provided this impact is clearly outlined in the NEWS.org file (I think there should be a specific reference to capture templates added in the patch to NEWS.org) and provided this change is applied to the next release only, no transition period is necessary. In this case, a transition period would add complexity to the code that would have to remain in place until the next major release and at that release, anyone who has not updated their templates will have the same breakage anyway. I feel there is a difference between changes in configuration and changes in code. Updating capture templates is trivial. Updating code is often more complex, which is why we have the obsolete mechanism for functions and variables. If we were making this change in a maintenance release, that would be a completely different story and a transition period would definitely be necessary. Users should expect some breakage in configuration when upgrading to a new major version.
Smart quotes for Greek (questions for a possible patch)
Hi, I would like to submit a patch to add smart quotes for Greek in `org-export-smart-quotes-alist', but I have a couple of questions. First of all, I am not a native speaker of Greek but of Spanish, so I would also like to have the opinion of some Greek native speaker, to see if my solutions are correct. The second question concerns the second-level quotation marks for Greek. The first level ones are the same as the Spanish or French quotes (without the extra space of French): «», so no problem. I follow here the rule that Yannis Haralambous explains in "From Unicode to Typography, a Case Study: the Greek Script" (1999, p. 20: http://web.archive.org/web/20120229131933/http://omega.enstb.org/yannis/pdf/boston99.pdf). According to Haralambous, on the second-level quotation marks (the emphases are mine): #+begin_quote Also interesting is the case of the second level quotes. Here, quotes of the size and shape of the English ones are used, but the opening quotes are inverted, similar in form to raised small round guillemets [...]. Fortunately these quotes are provided by the Unicode standard (*U+201F* and U+201D, the latter being the same closing double quotes as in English); *the author knows no other language in which this combination of double quotes might be used*. #+end_quote So the problem is in the character U+201F (assuming Haralambous is right). For the keywords `:utf8' and `html' no problem. But I don't know what to put in `:latex' or in `:texinfo': #+begin_src emacs-lisp (secondary-opening :utf-8 "‟" :html ";" :latex "??" :texinfo "??") #+end_src In fact, I think latex2e has no command or shorthand predefined for this character (see https://ibb.co/ZBGmwYP). There would be no problem with LuaTeX and XeTeX. But this character would be difficult to obtain in pdfTeX even using inputenc with the utf8 option. Best regards, Juan Manuel

(org-mark-element) will mark everything including affiliated keywords and post-blank empty lines. (:begin .. :end) will not include the affiliated keywords and extra blank lines. Best, Ihor

Re: Custom function for killing the thing at point
alternatively, fall back to org-mark-element.
