Yes, okay. >> Also this behavior is not documented AFAICT. > > I don't think you can document every single detail. Even if it was > possible, it wouldn't be desirable. Agreed. My statement was thought as a pointer to the possibility to drop the <>-parenthesis-feature without touching the documentation. >> What about removing this special? Or does anyone enjoy this behavior? > > This needs to be carefully tested and weighted. Yes, agreed. Currently I run Org mode without the <> parenthesis using the patch: modified lisp/org.el - (modify-syntax-entry ?< "(>") - (modify-syntax-entry ?> ")<") + ;; (modify-syntax-entry ?< "(>") + ;; (modify-syntax-entry ?> ")<") Up to now I don't miss the <> parenthesis. But this is just me. Ciao, -- Marco
