Hello Samuel,

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm trying to make sense of it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
org-emphasis-regexp-components is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is (" 	('\"{" "- 	.,:!?;'\")}\\" " 	
,\"'" "." 1)

Documentation:
Components used to build the regular expression for emphasis.
This is a list with five entries.  Terminology:  In an emphasis string
like " *strong word* ", we call the initial space PREMATCH, the final
space POSTMATCH, the stars MARKERS, "s" and "d" are BORDER characters
and "trong wor" is the body.  The different components in this variable
specify what is allowed/forbidden in each part:

pre          Chars allowed as prematch.  Beginning of line will be allowed too.
post         Chars allowed as postmatch.  End of line will be allowed too.
border       The chars *forbidden* as border characters.
body-regexp  A regexp like "." to match a body character.  Don't use
             non-shy groups here, and don't allow newline here.
newline      The maximum number of newlines allowed in an emphasis exp.

You need to reload Org or to restart Emacs after customizing this.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I see that "body-regexp" is "." so the problem is not from there. I also
see that "'" is forbidden as a border character, which should be fine in
my case as I'm using "~". So is the problem that "'" is both in prematch
and postmatch? But in my case I use it as a body character.

So I'm afraid I don't understand why the "'" in ~'a ref~ is not accepted
as a body character, and what I should do to make sure it is.

Thanks,

Alan
