Over time in using org Ive come up with some issues.
Some have been solved. Some I was shown workarounds.
Some remain unsolved.
Many of these issues can be clubbed together under what computer folk call
'escaping'.
Can we have a worg page for such as the following?
1. How to put a '=' into code
2. How to start a line with a '*' -- (a) for headers (b) for ordinary
lines?
3. How to enter a '|' into tables
4. Newlines -- \\ behaves inconsistently in latex and html [Same as
above because its about escaping newlines]
5. How to make normal (ie not radio) text like this <<some-text>>
6. How to make normal text that looks like [fn::somestuff]
Note all these may not have solutions, eg a C programmer cannot get a '*/'
into a comment however he may try. However he can get a '\' into a string
or a quote mark itself with '\\' and '\"'. For getting a '%' into a printf
format however, '\%' is not the way but '%%' Such things are documented
(and taught to) C programmers.
Just expressing a similar need of org-moders!
Regards,
Rusi
