Actually, at least the content is undisturbed here, but I've seen worse -- for example, an otherwise well formatted table in which the columns have phone numbers with country codes starting with '+'. This leads to strikeout marks that actually strike through the cell contents! So, would it make sense to turn off in-buffer markup under headings marked with the QUOTE keyword? Of course, prefixing every line with ':' has the desired effect, so there is an existing work-around, but requiring the prefix seems to make 'QUOTE' not very powerful/useful. (I can't find 'QUOTE' in the documentation now, so maybe this feature has been deprecated? But, #+BEGIN/END_EXAMPLE has the same problem.) Dan
