Hi All,
when using `org-hide-emphasis-markers', making links visible with
`org-toggle-link-display' also unhides the emphasis markers. I believe
this to be unexpected behavior (it certainly is to me), but I might be
wrong here, given that the emphasis markers are explicitly set to a
`org-link' invisible property (which see).
An ECM to reproduce the issue is:
- Start `emacs -Q'
- Do an initial setup:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20201123")
(setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)
#+end_src
- Open an Org buffer with contents:
#+begin_src org
[[https://orgmode.org/][Org mode for Emacs]]
,*bold*
#+end_src
given the settings, both the link and emphasis markers should be
invisible.
- Call `M-x org-toggle-link-display', see that both the link and the
emphasis markers are made visible. Toggle it again, and both are
invisible.
As far as I dug, the reason for this behavior lies in
`org-do-emphasis-faces' which indeed uses the `org-link' invisible
property to hide the links (at the very end of the function):
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(when (and org-hide-emphasis-markers
(not (org-at-comment-p)))
(add-text-properties (match-end 4) (match-beginning 5)
'(invisible org-link))
(add-text-properties (match-beginning 3) (match-end 3)
'(invisible org-link)))
#+end_src
So that `org-toggle-link-display' cannot really distinguish an emphasis
marker from an actual link when it removes `org-link' from the
invisibility-spec.
I don't know why this is done this way in `org-do-emphasis-faces', so I
might be missing something, but it does lead to this peculiar behavior
of `org-toggle-link-display'.
Best regards,
Gustavo.
