However, I think it ought to be merged in ox-bibtex.el instead. "ox-bibtex" name is misleading as it is not directly related to "bibtex" program. At its core, it merely introduces a BIBLIOGRAPHY keyword and [[cite:...]] links. It also provides accessors and predicates wrt them: - org-bibtex-get-file - org-bibtex-get-style - org-bibtex-get-arguments - org-bibtex-citation-p - org-bibtex-get-citation-key So, if you use them, you don't have to bother about BIBLIOGRAPHY keyword syntax (at least for now). Also, if we ever use ox-bibtex.el as a basis to implement bibliography handling in Org core, it will be easier to have most major back-ends already behaving uniformly. > You may also want to review the #+TOC settings, more for consistency > than anything else. > > Instead of > #+toc: headlines 4 > > we can have > #+toc: headlines :levels 4 > > or > #+toc: :type headlines :levels 4 Initially, as its name suggests, `org-export-read-attribute' was meant to make attributes keywords more consistent across back-ends. As it is a bit heavy, I'm not convinced that it would be a good generic syntax for all keywords. Also, the problematic is slightly different. "attr_backend" is generic, so it makes sense if its value starts with some :keyword. But what about: #+BEAMER_THEME: Madrid It would be redundant to use #+BEAMER_THEME: :theme Madrid (or :name Madrid). On the other hand, I admit that, currently, #+BEAMER_THEME: Rochester [height=20pt] is not great either. Maybe all of this calls for a generalization of the reader function. Something like "stuff everything before the first keyword as the value of a generic keyword". IOW, #+keyword: :a val :b val2 => (:a "val" :b "val2") #+keyword: text :a val => (:head "text" :a "val") #+keyword: text :head other => not good Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
