For instance, Texinfo has @var, @emph and @dfn, all of which generate italics in printed output, but they differ in what they generate for other output formats. There are probably 15 other such constructs. Does Org format have the ability to make all these distinctions? If not, I suspect that the Org mode documentation isn't following all our style conventions for documentation. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
