Hi all,

the subject says it all -- see this thread for reference:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/83648

Would you be okay if radio targets like <<<radio target>>>
are limited to plain text?

Thanks for your feedback,

imo radio targets are fundamentally limited because they only work in
the same file, while org has become a multi-file mode.  i am ok with
cosmetic limitations in addition.

Excluding special entities would not interfere with anything I've done
with radio targets so far. I can imagine future uses, but probably
nothing I couldn't work around with Unicode.

But is this only about special entities, or about all Org syntax,
including subscripts/superscripts, emphasis...? That would be
limiting. As long as radio targets are visible parts of the text, I'd
like them to continue supporting such markup.

Yours,
Christian

So far, radio targets only support entities, subscript and superscript.
Emphasis is not supported. I don't think it's a limitation, though,
because radio targets can be contained within emphasis markup.

Thanks for clarifying.

Sorry, I overlooked that. So both under the status quo and under the
proposed change, emphasis is possible. Mixed emphasis/non-emphasis
within the target (e.g. <<<creation /ex nihilo/>>>) is not supported in
either case, so the change would not further limit use of emphasis.

It would be nice to keep support for subscripts and superscripts,
though. One might want to use, say, "CO_2" in a radio target.

But this is not a pressing concern on my part, since I don't rely on
radio targets for anything very important anyway.

Yours,
Christian
