org-hide-emphasis-markers

[Colin Baxter]

Hello,

Is it possible to set the org-mode variable 'org-hide-emphasis-markers'
as a local variables? I've tried

# eval: (setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)

but that turns it on globally.

Best wishes,

You could try putting the following in your init file:

    (make-variable-buffer-local 'org-hide-emphasis-markers)

and then use a file-local variable setting. It should be enough to 
do:

# org-hide-emphasis-markers: t

There shouldn't be a need for `eval` in this case.

If that approach doesn't work (I don't see why it wouldn't 
though), you could try the following in your local variable block:

# eval: (set (make-local-variable 'org-hide-emphasis-markers) t)

Dear Joost,

Thanks. I've used you second suggestion and it works beautifully. I
haven't tried your first suggestion since I already have trouble
remembering what I've put in my emacs-init file without adding to the
memory problem.

Thanks again,,
Best wishes,
Colin.

I know what you mean. :-) But keep in mind that you can easily add 
comments to your init file by starting a line with `;;`. Might 
help you to remember why exactly you put a particular line in your 
init file.
