Hi,
is it still possible to add items to the emphasis alists?
I'm preparing a presentation with orgmode/beamer and try to get a markup
for alert using '@'.
According to some (old..) thread
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-01/msg00592.html)
I added an entry to org-emhasis-alist and
org-export-latex-emphasis-alist, see below.
Unfortunately, this is not working, '@noise@' is exported to '@noise@'
literally.
I had a quick look at the source in org-latex.el and if I understand it
correctly, the fontification is done in org-export-latex-fontify
according to matches with org-emph-re, defined in org.el. But
org-emph-re doesn't match with '@'- consequently, the markup is ignored.
So do I have to redefine org-emph-re as well or is there any other trick?
I'm using the current org from git.
Thanks all!
;; this is how I add the entries to the lists
(setq org-emphasis-alist
(append org-emphasis-alist
'(("@" org-warning "<b>" "</b>"))))
(setq org-export-latex-emphasis-alist
(append org-export-latex-emphasis-alist
'(("@" "\\alert{%s}" nil))))

You have to make that customization *before* loading Org in your .emacs file.
Weird, never really understood why, but that's like that.

The point is that the value of org-emphasis-alist (as well as the value
of org-emphasis-regexp-components) is used in order to calculate the
value of org-emph-re by calling the function org-set-emph-re afterwards:
it's org-emph-re that's used for the all the gory calculations, not
org-emphasis-alist, which just provides a nicer interface.
So if you arrange to call the org-set-emph-re function afterwards, you
can change org-emphasis-alist at any time. Customize makes it easy, in
that it does that automatically (see the :set property
of org-emphasis-alist).
If you do the setq before loading org, then what happens is that when the
defcustom is encountered, the value of the :set property (a function) is
called: the modified value of org-emphasis-alist is then used to calculate
org-emph-re, instead of the original default. If you do it after, none
of that happens and it's as if you never changed it.
Nick
PS BTW, the docstring for the variable says: "Use customize to modify
this, or restart Emacs after changing it" but I'm not sure that's
correct: if you change the variable in one session, the value is not
going to be propagated to the next session, unless you use customize
or put the setq in .emacs. In the latter case, it's not going to work
unless you do it the way Seb describes: set it before loading Org.
So restarting emacs is *not* enough. Am I missing something?

It worked using customize, thanks. And thanks for the explanation, Nick.
At least my approach to set the value would not work at all without an
explicit call to org-set-emph-re, since it relied on the variable being
already defined.
It might be of minor interest, anyway, I've attached a patch-suggestion
that would clearify the usage sufficiently, at least for me...
Best regards, Philipp

At some point, emphasis markers will be hard-coded anyway. Though, it
will be easy to change their meaning during the export process.

Well, sorry..
Before sending the mail I read the documentation on
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#sec-4
regarding correct submission of patches... and did it wrong.
So just for the records, here it is again.
Hopefully, if I can contribute a `real' patch someday, the format will
be right ;)

Thanks for the patch. As Nicolas said, emphasis markers will be
hardcoded at some point, so we don't want to encourage users to tweak
this in the meantime. I'll add a note about this in the release notes
of Org 7.9. I'll not apply the patch, as it exposes the user to things
we don't really want him to explore, such as `org-set-emph-re'... the
current docstring is fine to me.

No doubt :)
Ps: Think of using `C-x 4 a' to get a proper ChangeLog entry.
