A markup is markup. The markup I suggest is paragraph-oriented - which Org is good at. The markup that you have resorted to is span/inline-style at which Org sucks. > This is what I'm trying to avoid since the publisher and editors have > always required Word. Why get caught in specifics of Markup when all you want is a Word or a OpenDocument format or even a plain text format. In the grand scheme of things, insisting plain text or Org or Word doesn't really matter. If you want and do get Word, then markup - Org or otherwise - doesn't matter. > I have (I think) got them to agree to accept plain text, but I would > like to make it just as plain as possible. Oh, Ok. Looks like there is "exchange of ideas" between the author and publisher... > Paragraphs in the text may refer to many cases, so I don't think your > suggestions will meet that goal. Seems like Citation or Footnote to me.
