Is there any chance of extending it to make this convenient? Texinfo has a number of overlapping constructs that look the same in certain output formats but different in others. Does Org have constructs 100% equivalent to @dfn, @emph, @strong, @code, @samp, @var, @kbd, @key? If not, would people like to add them? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
