Org failing to format a link with verbatim text

Org failing to format a link with verbatim text

[Okam]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 492 bytes --]

Hello,

I am using the Emacs gccemacs branch with Org version "9.5-dev".
I have noticed that when I try to insert the stored link

     file:doc/loopy-doc.org::*Destructuring with =dash=

and use the heading as the link description, that Org cannot format this 
link correctly in all circumstances, and tries to make the verbatim text 
break out from the link.  I have attached pictures showing this.

I can avoid this be separating the sentences with a blank line.

Thank you.

The last para of (info "(org) External Links") says in part:

#+begin_quote
If spaces must be part of the link (for example in
‘bbdb:R.*Stallman’), or if you need to remove ambiguities about the
end of the link, enclose the link in square or angular brackets.
#+end_quote

To me, this sounds like advice not to drop external links amid normal text. i.e. put them in brackets instead.

HTH,

Chuck

Hello,

I have attached a minimum working example.  The bad formatting also
occurs when just pasting the link.  In the example, Org mode highlights
from beginning of the phrase "=verbatim text 1=" to the end of the
phrase "=verbatim text 3=" in the verbatim font style. Part of the link
is hidden as normal, but the text within the region of now verbatim text
is not hidden, including some of the brackets.

I have reproduced this without loading a configuration, so it is present
in version of Org included in the Gccemacs branch of Emacs.

Does that help?

Thank you.

The link [[phrase with =verbatim text 1=][a phrase with =verbatim text 2=]] followed by a phrase in =verbatim text 3= followed by normal text.

Re: Org failing to format a link with verbatim text

[Samuel Wales]

in maint for regular emacs i get link face for the link.:

The link [[phrase with =verbatim text 1=][a phrase with =verbatim text 2=]]
  face                 (org-link org-verbatim org-link)

followed by a phrase in =verbatim text 3= followed by
normal text.
  face                 (org-verbatim org-verbatim)

=verbatim=
  face                 (org-verbatim)

Yes. Thank You.

Use

#+begin_src emacs-lisp 
(setq org-fontify-emphasized-text nil)
#+end_src

to fix this. Note that an emacs restart is needed. See (info "(org) Emphasis and Monospace").

You might complain about the wording that suggests that only exports are affected, but I am not sure that claiming the behavior per se is a bug will get much traction.

HTH,
