Timothy suggested to fix `org-insert-link' somehow in than thread.
Yeah. I recall a number of bug report related to this behaviour.
Though I wanted to focus on org-insert-link here.
Then the older bug may be cancelled as a duplicate.
We can expect users to change the markup if they type a problematic link
manually, but not when specialised functions like org-insert-link are
used. In this scenario, org-insert-link should take care about not
messing up the existing markup.
To force Org mode not treat internal /! as italics ending, you can
insert a zero-width space before "/": <zero width space>/!
Unfortunately It requires an additional export filter to remove zero
width spaces.
Yeah. Right. It should even be an easy patch, which would be welcome :)
I meant a custom user filter. I consider zero width spaces as the last
resort. Nicolas considered making zero width spaces an official part of
syntax stripped during export and a way to preserve some of them. In the
case of links I still prefer breaking emphasis at the link borders.
`org-insert-link' may check after inserting the markup if it is parsed
as a link and add more markers if necessary. Unfortunately it is not
always possible. In the following case
/inter[[https://orgmode.org/?oops=1][word]]link/
additional markers would not work (unless augmented by zero width
spaces, but at least they will be outside of link target)
/inter/[[https://orgmode.org/?oops=1][/word/]]/link/
However mostly it is a decent workaround since links are usually
surrounded by spaces. At certain moment I was surprised that emphasis
markers are not recognized at the borders of export snippets and they
are active one at one side of links.
I am afraid that zero width spaces in link targets may lead to confusion
of users since in the most cases e.g. http: URLs may be pasted to
external application as is.
