a question about fontification and org-emphasis-alist

a question about fontification and org-emphasis-alist

[Filippo A. Salustri]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 772 bytes --]

So,
I really like the emphasis bit that org-emphasis-alist gets me.
But I find that the key characters to do the emphasis, as in /italics/,
remain visible.
It's distracting to me.  I mean, since it's rendered in italics, it's
redundant to show those '/' characters.
I also know that all kinds of things get hidden in org, like the square
parens in links.

So I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make the emphasis characters
invisible.
EG: /word/ would be rendered as "word" in italics, without the slashes.

Cheers.

What have you done to find the answer?

Google: org hide emphasis

is already good enough!

I did try to google a few things, but "hide" was never one of my keywords.
 Sigh.
Google is great IFF you know what keywords to use.

Thanks for the pointer.
Cheers.

This is with hindsight 20/20 but here is a method for finding such
things, using only emacs: C-h v org-<TAB> then switch to the
*Completions* buffer and search for ``emphasis''. The third hit is
org-hide-emphasis-markers - and you don't have to guess the "hide"
part...

Well, the real "problem" here is that the community is so prompt to
reply that it doesn't encourage people not to be lazy :)

Best,

I wish all the groups I was involved with suffered this "problem." :-)

With Emacs 23 and above, one can also do:

C-h v org--emphasis<TAB>

to match org-*emphasis* and shorten the list. ;)

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

But how do you know how many dashes to put?

I'd use apropos-variable (show variables matching pattern: WORDS or regexp).
I bind that to C-h C-v and use it often.

All apropos* functions are very useful, learn them
