I finally got drawers to work to hide some plain old stuff that is
too massive to be in the way all the time. Is it me, or are drawers
somewhat capricious? I had a drawer working, then moved more
stuff into it, and it cannot find the :END: line anymore. So here
are a few questions.
- Can I have two drawers by the same name in a file
Yes.
- What kind of information is forbidden in a drawer (that will not
enable the finding of the :END: line)?
You cannot nest drawers, a drawer ends at the first :END: line, the
end must
be before the next headline.
- Can I make up names for Drawers on the fly? Maybe a regular
expression name would be configured?
You can globally define the drawers using the variable `org-drawers'.
Or you can have a
#+DRAWERS: CLOCK PROPERTIES HIDETHIS HIDETHAT TOOBIG TOOUGLY
line in the buffer. Just press C-c C-c after changing
the line and you are good do go.
There is currently no way to define a regular expression for this.
Possible, but you would need to come up with a convincing
use case before I would implement this.
- Are blank lines anethema to drawers?
No.
- Is there a size limit?
No.
However, the drawer cannot contain a headline, i.e. a line starting with
one or several stars followed by a space character. Most likely,
this is what was causing you problems?

Thank you, as I think this is a great feature. Org-mode is becoming
more and more interesting as I begin to understand some of the
complexities.
