I often write documents in org mode that are going to be exported to PDF
via LaTeX and find myself writing something like
\paragraph{Lorem Ipsum} Duis ac nibh cursus, elementum ipsum quis,
faucibus sapien.
\paragraph{Interdum} Cras volutpat, sem eu semper ultrices, risus
lacus tempor erat, eu pulvinar magna arcu sit amet massa.
a lot, therefore mixing very simple Latex into my org documents simply
because I want titled paragraphs. This comes with the further
disadvantage that there is no syntax highlighting for it while editing.
This is despite the fact that org mode already has syntax for titled
things. Whenever we need a description list, we write:
- Lorem Ipsum :: Duis ac nibh cursus, elementum ipsum quis, faucibus
sapien.
- Interdum :: Cras volutpat, sem eu semper ultrices, risus lacus
tempor erat, eu pulvinar magna arcu sit amet massa.
I think we should be able to use the same syntax outside of lists:
Lorem Ipsum :: Duis ac nibh cursus, elementum ipsum quis, faucibus
sapien.
Interdum :: Cras volutpat, sem eu semper ultrices, risus lacus
tempor erat, eu pulvinar magna arcu sit amet massa.
