Hallo, I am using Org-mode 7.9 and I would like to create this kind of text *B* odyweight *R* eduction in *O* besity *​D* ​ependent in order to explain the acronym "BROD". This works fine, however, I would prefer a version without spaces after the bold letters. I have tried to use the Zero-Width-Space Unicode character, but this does not seem to work with the *-syntax. Is there another trick? Thank you! Warm regards, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.
