Hi,
I am not a programmer, coder, whatever, and realize that many of you
are used to inferring certain conditions by examples given in manuals, etc.
Is it stated anywhere in the Org manual that blank lines are not allowed
after headlines or certain other elements. If not, could such
"enlightenment" be added to the manual? As an example,
* This is a headline
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: /path/to/exported/file
:END:
works as expected whereas
* This is a headline
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: /path/to/exported/file
:END:
exports to a file with the buffer name.
(The above sometimes occur when I kill and yank the properties block.
Another example would be the necessity that a table immediately follow
all elements that are used to format and generate a table.

Quoting (info "(org) Property syntax"),
Properties are key-value pairs. When they are associated with a single
entry or with a tree they need to be inserted into a special drawer
(@pxref{Drawers}) with the name @code{PROPERTIES}, which has to be
located right below a headline, and its planning line
(@pxref{Deadlines and scheduling}) when applicable.
Improvements are welcome.
Also, see
http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html
Eventually,
M-x org-lint
should report such issue. Actually, it doesn't, but I fixed it so it
will eventually report it.
Regards,
