Thanks, for that information. Since I have no coding knowlege I reached out to stackexchange for some help for a workaround. Question is here: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/35626/how-to-make-my-own-org-mode-text-emphasis-work-again

One guy mentioned this after I wrote about this bug report:

"If they don't want items added to org-emphasis-alist they shouldn't use the repeat customization type which allows insertion and deletion. Furthermore, they should add a note about this restriction in the doc string of org-emphasis-alist. Maybe, you can give a follow-up in the bug-report about that."

So I did what he requested. He also provided me with a working solution. Even with that said I might ask if you could consider supporting adding new emphasis definitions in the future? For people like me who are not able to write a function to solve the problem in an instant this customize option is like the red carpet already lying on the floor.

With kind regards,

That's more like it, sorry. The fact that it worked doesn't mean it was
supported.

As I suggested there are other ways to achieve what you want.
