I do, in the "Objects" section. Successors are functions used to find the next object of a given type. Some objects are so close that they can share the same successor. Hence `text-markup' is a successor shared by underline, code, verbatim, bold, italic and strike-through objects. See `org-element-object-successor-alist' for more information. Also, see comments above `org-element--parse-elements' to get information about the algorithm used for object research. > I hope I don't go on your nerves with my questions, but I'm trying to > understand how you modeled an Org-file and its not all clear to me. There are comments at the beginning of each section in the file: these should give you some answers. Don't hesitate to ask if they don't fulfill your needs. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
