Hi all, Sorry in advance if this may sound too trivial, imprecise or naive: it's just for my curiosity, as I've recently been doing some tests with Pandoc and I've seen something that has caught my attention.
It is known that LaTeX-style nested emphases of the same category are not possible in Org. For example, the following string does not export to LaTeX as expected: #+begin_src org :results latex replace /lorem /ipsum/ dolor/ #+end_src #+RESULTS: #+begin_export latex \emph{lorem /ipsum} dolor/ #+end_export Otherwise, if you export to LaTeX with pandoc (v. 2.14.2), the result is (to my surprise) correct: #+begin_src sh :results latex str="/lorem /ipsum/ dolor/" pandoc -f org -t latex <<< $str #+end_src #+RESULTS: #+begin_export latex \emph{lorem \emph{ipsum} dolor} #+end_export If memory serves me, I think this was not possible before with Pandoc (neither from Org nor from Markdown, but I insist that I don't know if my memory is failing me too much :-)). Anyway, I wonder if it would be possible for Org to somehow implement some Pandoc procedure to be able to export nested emphases of the same category. Another (more abstract) doubt that arises, although I am not an expert in matters of grammar and specifications. If nested emphases of the same category are not possible in Org, should this be understood as a bug or a feature? What implication does it have if a external parser, like Pandoc, parses them just "fine"? Best regards, Juan Manuel
