That is, I would like the sentence inside the quotes to be in bold font. However, the above does not work: it results in the "*" character being exported literally in the pdf. Similarly, Write something then *"something bold should go here"* and go on. doesn't work either. Is there a way of doing this or is this something that orgmode is not supposed to do? Manuel PS: I am using the latest orgmode git repository and emacs 23.0.91.1
