I am not sure here. It looks like having a new special block type #+begin_inlinesection ... #+end_inlinesection would be sufficient. Given that we cannot nest inlinesections anyway. Or special drawer :inlinesection: ... :end: Although, drawers will be less powerful because, unlike special blocks, you cannot have a different drawer type inside. For special blocks, a different special block is perfectly fine. I do not see any clear benefit of having a dedicated, separate markup for inlinesection, apart from philosophical. > As for the inlinetask (or whatever they may be called in the future), > the fact that they are a kind of hybrid between a section (unrelated to > the level hierarchy) and a drawer seems very interesting to me.
