in fact, i am always queasy when i enter ZWNBSP in a .org (or any other) file. some sort of "visible" sequence would be great. backwards compatibility might be a problem. your last example : [''*literature*''] seems a bit of sleight-of-hand, though. iiuc, text inside square brackets isn't highlighted currently, and ZWNBSP doesn't (afaict) turn on highlighting. (maybe there's been recent discussion, modifications of this?) i.e., if the goal is to *expand* the realm of highlighting, might that not be a separate issue? cheers, Greg
