External parsers would be forced to understand the attribute syntax, which will complicate Org markup spec. 2. Our own parser may have to account for attribute inheritance while parsing, which will complicate the parser too much. The question remains how to define custom verbatim markup, of course. It may be enough to have @kbd{@code{...}} - it is not like Texinfo has a concept of truly verbatim text like in Org. Alternatively, we may allow two classes of inline markup: @foo{parsed *text* inside} and @foo={verbatim *text* inside}/@foo~{verbatim *text* inside} This way, instead of @code{}, we should use @code~{...} or even @~{...}/@={...} (mnemonics for ~...~ and =...=) > Certainly parsing of normal Org markup should be suppressed, > however I am less sure concerning @markup{}.

AFAIU, you are referring to how Texinfo handles its @code{...} command, where other texinfo commands are allowed, which is _conceptually_ different from how Org handles the verbatim/code - as a general rule, all the "code" in Org mode syntax is taken verbatim (with the only exception of src blocks where we have no choice). Also, the reason why Texinfo users do @param in @code is the lack of automatic syntax highlighting, unlike in Org mode. I think that Org mode's equivalent of Texinfo @code should be either 1. inline src block 2. if direct markup is unavoidable, use something like @fixedwidth{@code{def calculate(}@param{expr}@code{, }@param{env}@code{)}} Most of the @code{..} can be safely dropped. It is just to illustrate the idea that we still parse the contents. In practice, things like *def* calculate(expr, env) "foo\alpha" will become @fixedwidth{*def@code{*} calculate(@param{expr}, @param{env}) "foo@code{\}alpha"} or @fixedwidth{\star{}def* calculate(@param{expr}, @param{env}) "foo\@@{}alpha"} -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.

The idea of composition is better from my point of view. With this approach it is enough to have non-conflicting syntax for non-parsed fragments. I am against making @code{} a special name with suppressed markup parsing. The price of composition in comparison with @foo={} is more verbose markup. By the way, Org has src_lang{...} syntax for almost non-parsed fragments (neglecting requirement of balanced curly brackets that is an issue). Actually "=" in @foo={} is a kind of special argument distinct from ones specified inside [] and {}. >> @code{def calculate(@param{expr}, @param{env})} [...] > Also, the reason why Texinfo users do @param in @code is the lack of > automatic syntax highlighting, unlike in Org mode. Is ox-texinfo able to convert syntax highlighting to native texinfo markup? So if @markup{} is not allowed in verbatim content then it is another feature loosely related to custom inline blocks. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

One option I thought of was making @foo{=...=} a special type of boundary delimiting non-parsing contents. However, it is not very elegant IMHO. > By the way, Org has src_lang{...} syntax for almost non-parsed fragments > (neglecting requirement of balanced curly brackets that is an issue). Yes, but it is handled differently by exporters from =verbatim=/~code~. In fact, even the idea with @foo{@code{...}} may be problematic in this regard - @code{...} inside, if we treat it as an equivalent of ~code~, may be problematic if some export backends do something unusual about code markup. > Actually "=" in @foo={} is a kind of special argument distinct from ones > specified inside [] and {}. Yes, but it is much easier to parse. If we use a proper attribute, we run into all kind of issues with how consistent it should be with the parsing rules for other attributes (should it be inherited? may it appear in arbitrary place in [...]?). And if we make it special, we will run in various special cases in the parser... >>> @code{def calculate(@param{expr}, @param{env})} > [...] >> Also, the reason why Texinfo users do @param in @code is the lack of >> automatic syntax highlighting, unlike in Org mode. > > Is ox-texinfo able to convert syntax highlighting to native texinfo markup?
