For the example the OP provided, this solution is visually equivalent (pdf+html) to placing the strike-through plus signs around the link like so: +[[ ... ]]+ Do you configure emacs to display the zero-width space as a coloured box or something? It's disturbing to me to have these "hidden" characters in a document. Leo
