Hi,

I'm writing a document in which I use footnotes to hold references to
many tools.  One often wants the tool name in tt font, and the footnote
to be touching the tool name (i.e. =tool=[fn:1] ).  Unfortunately
currently Org-mode doesn't fontify or export "tool" in the above as tt.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks,
Eric

You could probably tweak `org-emphasis-regexp-components' in order to
allow square brackets as postmatch.

Should this be done personally or in master?

I can't think of a case where it could lead to confusion, so I'd say it
can go in master, at least until someone complains, if ever.

BTW, as a reminder, I'm all for thinking again how emphasis/verbatim
markup is defined in Org but I doubt changing it by small touches will
do any good. IMO, it needs to be discussed as a whole.

I think a good markup should
  - not need to be customizable,
  - allow any number of (non-consecutive) newline characters,
  - allow escaping markup in verbatim objects.

For example, much like radio links, bold object could be defined as

  1. anything but an alphanumeric character (including nothing),
  2. / character,
  3. an alphanumeric character,
  4. anything excepted 2 or more consecutive newline characters
     (non-greedy),
  5. an alphanumeric character,
  6. / character,
  7. anything but an alphanumeric character (including nothing).

For simplicity, I ignore the special case /a/ for the moment.

The verbatim would be the same, with a slight change in 4th element:

  4. the same, with \= treated as =

Thanks for this.

I agree with Nicolas that small changes like this won't encourage
a structural change by themselves, but they do not harm either,
so let's not refrain from making them.
