How can I mark several words as bold (or emphasized or any similar markup), in particular if the words spans over *more then one line*? A similar problem can occur when one is pasting a long line into an org-mode buffer and then, after it is being broken into shorter lines, you try to make it bold. The documentation (http://orgmode.org/org.html#Emphasis-and-monospace) states that this kind of markup is aimed at words - so it might not support sentences and in particular long ones...

Basically, "lines" may be /visual/ (i.e., broken by the display engine at spaces etc., but the whole paragraph is one long line in the file) or /physical/ (i.e., with newline characters at the end of each line). In Emacs, you an use M-q to "fill" a paragraph (more or less, convert from visual to physical lines), and something along the lines of C-u 9 9 9 9 9 C-x f M-q to "unfill" a paragraph. (There are also "unfill" functions (quod google), though they are not part of stock Emacs.) There is an ongoing discussion on which is better, too long to repeat any of the arguments here. For a LaTeX-centric approach, see e.g. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4376/good-strategy-for-line-breaks-with-paragraphs-of-latex-source (note that Emacs's longline-mode was a predecessor of visual-line-mode). And indeed, bold/italic spanning more than a few words might not be a good idea. And in cases it is, it's problably better to define a specialized "environment" (in LaTeX lingo) - like one for theorems (which are often typeset in italics). > Best, > Dror Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

What is the org-mode's equivalent of LaTeX's environment? That COULD be very helpful. Thanks, Dror ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

That variable is a list, the fifth element of which says how many newlines the emphasis markers will allow. I set it to three: (setf (nth 4 org-emphasis-regexp-components) 3) Hope that helps, Eric ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

It somehow didn't help. I did "M-x org-reload" after setting this, but it didn't help spanning the italic in my case over several lines.

It somehow didn't help. I did "M-x org-reload" after setting this, but it didn't help spanning the italic in my case over several lines. Hmm. I do find it sometimes needs to be "poked" a few times to really take -- sometimes reloading org more than once, or calling "org-mode" in a buffer that's already org-mode. Often hitting M-q to refill the paragraph is enough to do the trick. It won't show the italic over even a single line break? E ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
