Putting in bold some letters of a word

Putting in bold some letters of a word

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hi all,

I'm trying to Orgify a Word document of my beloved, whose writing a manual for
learning Spanish. In the first chapter (the one I'm converting), there are
some groups of letters that have to be in bold or underlined.

I've tried the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     Es *A*\~lfonso.
     Es *B*\,enito.
     Es *C*\{\}armen.
     Es *C*hago.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But this gives:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     Es \textbf{A}\~lfonso.
     Es \textbf{B}\,enito.
     Es \textbf{C}\{\}armen.
     Es *C*hago.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which is not that good.

I guess it's possible to change some variable in order to let Org recognize
the bold parametrization. Can one give me a hint on this?  Is it bad doing so?

If yes, I guess I can BIND the var just to do that in *that* document?

Best regards,
  Seb

Play around with the variable org-emphasis-regex-components.
For example, try changing "Allowed chars in post" from "- 	.,:!?;'\")}\\"
to "a-z- 	.,:!?;'\")}\\".

If you want to know the regex Org constructs from this variable and
org-emphasis-alist:

M-: org-emph-re RET

I don't know, but I guess if there is a customization option, it is
intended to be customizable :)

There seems to be a general feature of Emacs that lets you do that:

If LaTeX is the only tqarget you have, writing directly

     Es \textbf{A}lfonso.
     Es \textbf{B}enito.
     Es \textbf{C}armen.
     Es \textbf{C}hago.

is you best bet.

I guess I'll do so, then. Playing with the regexp seems quite error-prone
for/to me...
