Hello everybody,
is there a simple way to disable the description list syntax in a
document? That is, how can I prevent emacs from interpreting '::' as
a description list separator (in a given document)?
The background is that I often use '::' or '::=' in my text
(e.g. talking about types in Haskell or using BNF notation). It is
only a minor issue, but I would very much prefer emacs not
mis-interpreting and highlighting the left hand sides as description
headings.
Thanks,
Markus

Put your code within babel block. I believe it shouldn't happen
then. Are just turn off orgmode.
#+begin_src <whatever>
<text goes here>
#+end_src

Yes, I do that whenever I have block-level code. But often I want to
use inline '::' notation in normal org-mode lists, something like:
,----
! - a type is a collection of related values
! - notation: ~v :: T~, "v is a value in the type T", "v has type T"
`----
Thanks,
Markus

If you use the code markup (which might be desirable anyway, if you're
mixing code and regular text), org mode should not interpret anything
inside that markup as org text. So:
- notation: =~v :: T~=, "v is a value........
Ought to work.

Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't work. In fact, I have already
been using code markup, but with "~" instead of "=". Anyway, neither
notation prevents org from interpreting "::" inside code environments
as part of description lists. BTW, I'm having the same issue with
=[[--]]= notations which should not be interpreted as links.
Thanks,
Markus

No.

::= shouldn't define a description list. Could you post an ECM where it does?
The real separators are [space]::[space] and [space]::[end-of-line],
not :: by itself.
