Thats what I thought, but wouldn't it be nicer to treat switches and header args more uniformly here? E.g allow something like: #+HEADER: :switches -n #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE Hallo World whats up? #+END_EXAMPLE Otherwise custom solutions are needed to store the switches in some place when nuking the surrounding #+begin/#+end lines in a conversion process, and restore them again when converting back to Org. Or the switches-info is simply lost during conversion. -- cheers, Thorsten
