My statement was thought as a pointer to the possibility to drop the <>-parenthesis-feature without touching the documentation. >> What about removing this special?

Currently I run Org mode without the <> parenthesis using the patch: modified lisp/org.el - (modify-syntax-entry ?< "(>") - (modify-syntax-entry ?> ")<") + ;; (modify-syntax-entry ?< "(>") + ;; (modify-syntax-entry ?> ")<") Up to now I don't miss the <> parenthesis. But this is just me. Ciao, -- Marco
