*What* doesn't work? Since you don't tell us, I tried exporting the following to latex and html: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * foo The person wanted to say *BSD. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and it works fine in both cases (albeit in Org-mode version 8.2.6 (release_8.2.6-1122-g1d7c75)). -- Nick
