Hi Rudolf,
as to your question when to use an inline src block:
I use it particularly in documents that present results from data sets. For
instance, when you
calculate something (e.g., an average value), you can store it in a variable
=foo= (e.g., in R,
python etc., just make sure you use the :session parameter) and access =foo= in
an inline source
block (that uses the same :session parameter). This allows you to avoid having
hardcoded numbers in
your documents - when the data changes, so do all the numbers in your text.
As to the naming: begin_src also uses underscores, so I guess the naming scheme
is fine...
Hope this helps!
Best regards
Christian
