Orgsters,
I was wondering whether it is common practice to indicate source code
blocks with capital letters, as in
#+BEGIN_SRC text
Example source block
#+END_SRC
while indicating special blocks with lower-case, as in
#+begin_latex
This is \LaTeX.
#+end_latex
They both work (I think). But, I can't decide which one looks better
to my eye. What are your thoughts?

I think the lower-case versions look much better and I
have often cursed myself for starting out with these
upper-case ones. The upper-case ones did make sense
without special fontification - but now they look like
FORTRAN 77.

The keyboard shortcuts produce lowercase text (e.g. typing <e[TAB] for
a begin_example).
It's not my personal preference, though.
