Subject: Should 'QUOTE' turn off in-buffer mark-up?
Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:38:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A244A67.9070204@gmail.com> (raw)
I just cut-and-pasted a table from the IETF RTP RFC into orgmode as follows:
* QUOTE RTP Header Format
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|V=2|P|X| CC |M| PT | sequence number |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| timestamp |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| synchronization source (SSRC) identifier |
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
| contributing source (CSRC) identifiers |

The orgmode markup rules make this a bit of a mess. Actually, at least
the content is undisturbed here, but I've seen worse -- for example, an
otherwise well formatted table in which the columns have phone numbers
with country codes starting with '+'. This leads to strikeout marks
that actually strike through the cell contents!
So, would it make sense to turn off in-buffer markup under headings
marked with the QUOTE keyword? Of course, prefixing every line with ':'
has the desired effect, so there is an existing work-around, but
requiring the prefix seems to make 'QUOTE' not very powerful/useful.
(I can't find 'QUOTE' in the documentation now, so maybe this feature
has been deprecated? But, #+BEGIN/END_EXAMPLE has the same problem.)
