I've never considered vanilla html code readable. It's pretty nice how font lock handles the current way. It just seems to have too many corner cases. I was trying to think of something that could present well in the org buffer using font-lock and/or whatever magic links and timestamps use while also exporting well to all the exportable formats, including but not limited to html. I am assuming that font-lock can handle matching braces. My first thought was to use something like *[text-n-stuff] but though that was ugly. It struck me that links do magic with [hidden|visible] and though that the markup could be in the hidden area and affect the face of the visible area. I figure someone will eventually ask for nesting so I suggested it upfront figure it would be shot down immediately for technical limitations or be consider for future enhancement. > I say bring the simple, single-character markup back to the original > incarnation: *one* word /only/. Well, that would fix the corner cases. I'm not sure that's what most people would want. I'd guess most people using the feature would prefer to keep the text formating with its current warts rather than go back to simple word mark up. I could be wrong. In any case, this markup stuff seem to be an unruly stepchild in the org-mode tool kit and it might be worth fixing with some finality, even if it is to go back to just go back to single word markup.
