Hi all
I must be missing something since I think these are very common use
cases: How is one supposed to get code emphasis to recognize the
beginning and end "as expected" in the four examples ='the file.org'=
and ="$1"= and =a = 'x'= and =b = "y"=?
Can I change =org-emphasis-regexp-components= in the Org repository
accordingly to allow single and double quotes for "border" or would
that break too many use cases? To try out what would break in existing
Org files with what I suggest, use
#+NAME: change_border
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-emphasis-regexp-components
'(" \t('\"{" "- \t.,:!?;'\")}\\" " \t\r\n," "." 1))
#+END_SRC
and reload Org mode and reopen the Org buffers that were already
opened.
Additionally and at the cost of "giving up" (why would they be
needed?) '=foo bar=' and "=foo bar=", which possibly should anyway be
either just 'foo bar' and "foo bar" or =foo bar=, also the examples
=c='z'= and =d="t"= would work when using
#+NAME: change_pre_and_post_and_border
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-emphasis-regexp-components
'(" \t({" "- \t.,:!?;)}\\" " \t\r\n," "." 1))
#+END_SRC
As a reminder and to reset during trials, the current state is
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-emphasis-regexp-components
'(" \t('\"{" "- \t.,:!?;'\")}\\" " \t\r\n,\"'" "." 1))
#+END_SRC
Which one of the following is your preference for
=org-emphasis-regexp-components= and why?:
- as in named block "change_pre_and_post_and_border"
- as in named block "change_border"
- keep current state
- other
Below is the history of =org-emphasis-regexp-components= for further
argumentation. The git commits d45806cc and 8ddd57dc (repository
conversion (?) in 2008) have a commit message that does not tell why
single and double quotes were added to be possible for "pre" and
"post" and to be not allowed for "border". Is there a version control
Org repository prior to git with some more comment that has not been
converted to git?

`org-emphasis-regexp-components' also controls, well, regular emphasis.
And "*this* kind of quote" is something I need from time to time.

I'm not against it, but I won't take this decision myself, IMHO we
have to ping Carsten for this.
PS: Also remember that the multine fontification code needs to be
rewritten. Maybe the rewrite is the best time for discussing the
whole implementation and the detailed use-cases.

Yes, many thanks to Florian for pointing this out. It means that I
withdraw the variant "#+NAME: change_pre_and_post_and_border" as my
suggestion to make work my last two examples =c='z'= and =d="t"=. I
would change them to ~c='z'~ and ~d="t"~ to make them work in case the
milder variant "#+NAME: change_border" is acceptable before the works
mentioned in Bastien's message.
