Dear Christian, Christian Moe (m...@christianmoe.com) 2025-05-27: > […] unwanted line breaks […] I have this in my .emacs […]
Ah yes, I was using zero width space for this (since non-breaking space did not work) but I was worried about weird line breaks showing up for readers on certain viewport widths. I like your solution. It's not super elegant, but it feels like something that will work for many years to come.

Oh, yeah. I do recognise the 0xFEFF now that you say it. I'll try to steer clear of this. Thanks for the additional knowledge, too! As a more general follow-up on this topic, I think the current behaviour of ox is defensible. Org more generally has steered away from encouraging people to customise org-emphasis-regexp-components, in order to make Org more of a standardised markup format. Makes sense to pick a smaller set of allowed characters to surround emphasis marks. Sincerely yours, Christoffer
