So org thinks everything under that > headline is the body of the headline. I hit this very problem recently and first assumed it must be a bug. But, since it's documented[1] I guess it's a "feature". Although one I don't immediately see a use for. I hit this when capturing some logging info which happened to have a line starting with a triple-*. Trying to manually find such offending lines in a large EXAMPLE block is too tedious to contemplate. A better way, which is implied by that footnote, is to use Org Src buffers when entering the content of EXAMPLE blocks in the first place. I do like: C-c' Where is me pasting or typing whatever is the content of the EXAMPLE block. This will not only indent the entire block with a couple of spaces but will "escape" the problematic headline asterisk with the "special syntax" comma. -Brett.
