Personally, I follow the convention used in the Emacs manual, that is Dired
mode, Hideshow mode, Org mode, etc.

Extract:

  =E2=95=AD=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80
  =E2=94=82 25.9 Org Mode
  =E2=94=82 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
  =E2=94=82=20
  =E2=94=82 Org mode is a variant of Outline mode for using Emacs as an org=
anizer
  =E2=94=82 and/or authoring system.  Files with names ending in the extens=
ion
  =E2=94=82 `.org' are opened in Org mode (*note Choosing Modes::).  To exp=
licitly
  =E2=94=82 switch to Org mode, type `M-x org-mode'.
  =E2=94=82=20
  =E2=94=82    In Org mode, as in Outline mode, each entry has a heading li=
ne that
  =E2=94=82 starts with one or more `*' characters.  *Note Outline Format::=
.  In
  =E2=94=82 addition, any line that begins with the `#' character is treate=
d as a
  =E2=94=82 comment.
  =E2=95=B0=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80
