Expected. In the first case, KEY = CAPTION[*foo*] and VALUE = baz In the second case, keyword does not match, because KEY cannot have spaces. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html#Keywords Note that _affiliated keyword_ has an optional form of #+KEY[OPTVAL]: VALUE where OPTVAL can have spaces. But isolated #+CAPTION cannot be an affiliated keyword, which is why you see what you see. Whether we should allow OPTVAL in ordinary keywords has been discussed , and we might do it to simplify things at some point. But the rules are like the above for now. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
