Subject: 29.0.50; incorrect org-mode dynamic blocks docs
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2023 01:36:00 +0500

Hello, team!

Please check the following documentation (or implementation) of org-mode
dynamic blocks:

1. It seems that dynamic blocks can't have inner headlines (the
org-dblock-write:xxx should not produce them). Otherwise the block will
be parsed incorrectly (not mentioned in docs for org-mode).

Example: Create the following 1.org and export it to unicode text (press
C-c C-e t U). You will see "#+BEGIN: block2" as text.

  * Block2
  
  #+BEGIN: block2
  ** Section 1
  asdasdsad
  #+END:
  
2. Org-mode info file says:

     Dynamic blocks, like any other block, can be narrowed with
  ‘org-narrow-to-block’.

That would not work because of implementation of org-narrow-to-block:

(defun org-narrow-to-block ()
  "Narrow buffer to the current block."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((case-fold-search t)
	 (blockp (org-between-regexps-p "^[ \t]*#\\+begin_.*"  <----
					"^[ \t]*#\\+end_.*")))
    (if blockp
	(narrow-to-region (car blockp) (cdr blockp))
      (user-error "Not in a block"))))



There is also a minor bug in org-mode (sould I report it
in it's own mail?):

If you press C-c C-, [RET] [RET] You'll get:

#+begin_
#+end_nil

while one could expect either begin_nil or end_.

Could you please report this to the Org developers first?  It sounds
like a problem in Org or its documentation.

Thanks.
