#+TITLE: Properties #+AUTHOR: Seb Vauban #+PROPERTY: var foo=1 #+PROPERTY: var+ bar=2
* Abstract IIUC, properties are set in this way: - on a file basis, before any heading, through the =PROPERTY= keyword, - on a subtree basis, through the =PROPERTIES= block. My comprehension is that the =PROPERTY= keyword may not be used inside "trees", and should be ignored if that would happen. The following example shows that either: - I'm wrong to think so, - there is a bug. What is the right assumption here? * Subtree Being located in a subtree, the following lines are ill-placed IMHO: #+PROPERTY: var foo="Hello #+PROPERTY: var+ world" Though, they're well taken into account: #+begin_src emacs-lisp foo #+end_src #+results: : Hello world These lines have even wiped the definition of =bar= (because of the use of =var= without any =+=): #+begin_src emacs-lisp (+ foo bar) #+end_src returns the error "Symbol's value as variable is void: bar."
