Nicolas, I look forward to all the advances you have proposed... except for this one: > ** Backslash escaping > > Allowing to escape some symbols in plain text (e.g., emphasis markers, > square brackets...) would remove a limitation in verbatim/code objects. > As a small benefit, it would also permit to implement mid-word markup: > b*o*ld. I'm concerned that it will make typing normal text more onerous. Right now, org is quite non-intrusive in most of my writing yet is quite rich in what it can encode. Having to backslash symbols that I use in text quite often (especially square brackets) would be annoying. Maybe I misunderstood; if so, I apologise for the noise! Regarding citations, I have not played with the -wip branch at all. Maybe I should. It just wasn't clear where that branch had got to and whether it was at a point worth trying. Can you (or somebody else) update us with a summary of what is possible? I'm always in the process of writing papers so I may be happy to be a guinea pig.
