Can these be affected individually? Or can emphasis be told to be always left in verbatim? >> It splits the window even though I have pop-up-windows set to nil. Rationale: It is true that this only applies to display-buffer. And this is not only a problem with your exporter. But most of Emacs can be made to work properly with this variable. There are parts that do not. Those require an ever-expanding list of defadvices, same-window-*, and other kludges to use the same window. pop-up-windows is a good candidate for the user to signal the intention to do this for all output buffers. In any case, I added a defadvice. There does not exist any way to say "Do not split output windows". So it is a constant struggle. >> Lists are not indented although I always indent them by 2. > > e-ascii back-end has its own (configurable) layout.

Here are 2 reasons I like indented lists: 1) Notice how it is set off so you know when the end of the list is? 2) Other reasons >> Feature requesti --export tables using tab characters.

No, I mean that this is a useful way to send things to people who use proportional fonts. > Thanks for your feedback. Thanks for your work on the exporter.
