The following question came up on Stack Overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9051330/possible-bug-in-org-mode= -export-of-item-with

The following sample org file does not export as possibly expected.

| #+TITLE: Bug? =
| #+OPTIONS: *:nil toc:nil author:nil
|
| - hello (*) I would like = to have two items
| - may (*) I please?
`-----= --------------------------------------

Instead of the two items bein= g listed with (*) as a part of their
items they are placed on a single line as though they were still being
w= rapped in bold tags. I tested this further and it occurs in LaTeX,
HTML= and ODT exports. ASCII does the right thing and exports it as
two list= items.

HTML:
,-------------------------------------------------------------= ---------

| <li>hello (*) I would like to have two items - m= ay (*) I please?
| </li> =

LaTeX:
,------------------------------------------------------------= -------
| \begin{itemize} =
| \item hello (*) I would like to have two items - may (*) I please= ?
| \end{itemize}
`--= -----------------------------------------------------------------

Is= this the expected behaviour when *:nil is set on export? I know
you ca= n simply escape the *'s as \* to get the desired result (both
with and without *:nil). However it does seem odd to me that it will
in= sert the *s as expected in the export, while at the same time keep
the t= ext wrapping that *[...]* creates for bold-face purposes.

The problem comes from the fact that the * in (*) actually _do_ emphasize the text (it is in bold font in the buffer). Given that, the exporter does its best, which is not very good. The bug here is to allow multiline fontification over distinct list items -- we'll try to fix it, but that's a rather complex issue. On top of the workaround above, have a look at `org-emphasis-regexp-components', thru which you can prevent parentheses as post/pre-characters in a fontified string. HTH, PS: FWIW, I also sent this reply to StackOverflow, thanks for forwarding questions from there to here! -- Bastien
