------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I am trying to customizing `org-emphasis-alist` so that ` can replace ~ as
the code marker. I use the following code in my configuration file:

``` emacs-lisp
(setq org-emphasis-alist
      '(("*" bold)
        ("/" italic)
        ("_" underline)
        ("=" org-verbatim verbatim)
        ("`" org-code verbatim)
        ("+" (:strike-through t))))
```

After I restart Emacs, things does not work as I expected. Text
surrounded by ` is not rendered using the faces for code, and text
surrounded by ~ is rendered using a different face for code (different
from the faces before the customizing is applied). Also, I have set
`org-hide-emphasis-marker` to `t`, and ~ gets hidden but ` not.

This can be reproduced by launching Emacs using `emacs -Q`. Then
evaluate the code above in the *scratch* buffer. Then open an org-mode
buffer which contains text like "`code`" and "~code~". You can tell the
difference by launching Emacs using `emacs -Q` but does not evaluate the
above code.

Thank you

Custom markup markers are not supported.
This customization is only useful to change the existing markup faces.

I have updated the docstring to explain this.
Handled, on bugfix.

Have you decided to discard another variant that warns users?

In that thread, the decision has been made to obsolete
`org-emphasis-alist'. However, I postponed its implementation until
after the new font-lock engine.
