[O] italicise across lines

2012-05-25 Thread Enda
Is there is a way to italicise across lines like

/italicised
text/

rather than

/italicised/
/text/

For long pieces of text, italicising the ends of each line is
inefficient (maybe there could be a #+BEGIN_ITALICS, #+END_ITALICS, I know of
#+BEGIN_VERSE, just without the indentation without affecting verses.)


Best wishes,

Enda

What exactly are you trying to do?  Please share the underlying
motivation behind the series of questions you have been posting lately.

Will disabling font-lock for Orgmode files accomplish what you want?

If you are new to Orgmode, look at the manual, browse the mailing list
and then post the questions.

Disabling font-lock would not work because then the headings (* Headings) would 
not be in color.

Don't read my reply literally.  I am urging you to do some navel gazing.

That's what the `meta' in in my reply implied..

 Headings) would not be in color.

Actually, Org will italicize items like your first example, but only for
blocks of text of up to two lines in length.  For a longer block you
want italicized, you would likely be better off using a
#+BEGIN_QUOTE...#+END_QUOTE block and then tweaking your exporter to
handle putting QUOTE blocks into italics.
