Even the proposed 'solutions' still suffer from false > positives. yeah. i sort of wonder if one can roughly categorize our typical uses of org-mode into two types: - random scribbles, agendas, etc., where the consumer is "ourselves" for the most part - more formal presentations (web sites, papers), where the consumer is the broader world and, to the extent this is true, i wonder if some markup issues have a tension between those two uses. e.g., for a formal document, i might be willing to have "heavier" markup, to eliminate (...) false positives/negatives. (another example is in-line math markup, with dollar signs or backslah-parens.) cheers, Greg
