If you can find a good place in the manual, please send > a patch. I do not find the info nodes on "Structural markup elements" particularly overloaded. The node "Emphasis and monospace" is just one short paragraph, and org-fontify-emphasized-text could esily be mentioned there -- unless this variable also affects other things, so that it should be mentioned higher up in the node hierarchy. If such things get distributed among different places, an info manual plus a separate FAQ, they get yet more confusing, in particular for casual users of org mode. Many users will not even know (or expect) that the info manual does not give them the full story, but they need to consult other sources, too. Take the elisp manual: it's pretty big. But I like it because its authors are pretty good in making it an *efficient* and *reliable* source of information. (Here I'd like to put these words in bold, because I really appreciate this!)
