Hi. I'm using org-mode to write some documentation about Erlang modules. Erlang's "binary" data type has a syntax like: <<"this is binary data">> Org-mode's ascii-exporter in version 6.33f blindly strips all <<>> pairs from the file, leaving the text as "this is binary data" which, unfortunately, is still valid Erlang syntax, but has a different meaning. So, to help me and others write Erlang documentation in org-mode, I submit the patch attached to this email, which changes org-ascii.el such that it checks the org-protected text property before stripping <<>> characters, so examples marked as verbatim text should go untouched. -Bryan
