I have managed to do multiple-line fontification in Emacs (and I think in org) using hi-lock mode: <br>M-x hi-lock-face-buffer &lt;REGEX&gt; RET<br>italic RET<br><br>But
I can&#39;t for the life of me get that regex back which could span
multiple lines.  I was sure I grouped &#39;.&#39; and the newline character
somehow, but I can&#39;t reclaim it.  Maybe someone else has an idea.  <br>
<br>If you get it figured out, you can then write the hi-lock regexp&#39;s
into your file, and set things up so that they get read every time the
file is loaded (with or without confirmation). <br><br>It worked for
me in a limited trial but I&#39;m not sure how hi-lock would interact with
org over the long haul.  It certainly has the potential to slow things
down, but I never noticed it.<br><font color="#888888">
