So,
I really like the emphasis bit that org-emphasis-alist gets me.
But I find that the key characters to do the emphasis, as in /italics/,
remain visible.
It's distracting to me.  I mean, since it's rendered in italics, it's
redundant to show those '/' characters.
I also know that all kinds of things get hidden in org, like the square
parens in links.

So I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make the emphasis characters
invisible.
EG: /word/ would be rendered as "word" in italics, without the slashes.

Cheers.
Fil
