Is it possible to markup one character in a word?

Is it possible to markup one character in a word?

[Vladimir Lomov]

Hi.

Is it possible to markup one character in a word, like e*X*ecute. For
now this don't work. I tried to add ZERO WIDTH SPACE (found on mailing
list) before first * and last * like in example e​*X*​ecute but this
don't work also.

This seems incredibly similar to a thread that *just* took place. Take
a look at this:

Any help there?

Thanks, I read it.

Actually not much, this was example from a table (see below).

Some time ago I tried to markup a word in source block and
found that it is impossible now.
I simply insert a html-aware text between #+{begin,end}_html and that work
but this is suboptimal even if I only want to get html after export.

So, is it easy to support in markup parse code the ZERO WIDTH SPACE?

I found about ZWS here

*** Example

Imagine following example:

| Key bind   | Action                        |
|------------+-------------------------------|
|            | <29>                          |
|            | *Launch a program* (e*x*ecute) |
| W-x t      | launch terminal emulator rxvt-unicode (connect urxvtc client to running urxvt server which should be already started) |
|            | *Launch a browser* (*b*rowser) |
| W-b f      | launch =firefox=           |
... etc

Your suggestion does work but require some customizations. This is more
like a braindump but some corrections or refinements might be needed.

1. M-x org-emphasis-regexp-components RET

2. Goto "Allowed chars in pre" and position the cursor before the last
   double-quotes and do 
   - M-x ucs-insert RET ​ZERO WIDTH SPACE RET

3. Goto "Allowed chars in pre" and do as in 2.

Create string like 

e|*X*|ecute

where the | stands for ZERO WIDTH SPACE

,---- C-u C-x = for ZERO WIDTH SPACE
|         character: ​ (8203, #o20013, #x200b)
| preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
|        code point: 0x200B
|            syntax:   	which means: whitespace
|       buffer code: #xE2 #x80 #x8B
|         file code: #xE2 #x80 #x8B (encoded by coding system utf-8-emacs-dos)

Hi, 

thanks for this pragmatic solution. 

What now would be interesting: how to toggle on/off a display 
of those small helpers? F.e. by showing/hiding some grayed '|'
for these zero width whitesppaces?

The whitespace module seems not to support this kind of spaces.
Is there any centralized feature to show/hide those things? 

As optionally too, stuff like link/link_description, emphasized 
text with/without characters would be nice to be switchable
by just one single command resp. shortcut...

Thanks,
Joe.

The whitespace module does support this, see the variable
`whitespace-display-mappings'.

Something like this should do the trick (if not done via M-x
customize-variable RET whitespace-display-mappings RET):

(add-to-list
 'whitespace-display-mappings
 '(space-mark 8203 [?|] [?-]))

You'll have to M-x whitespace-mode after evaluating this to update the
buffer display.

Ciau,
Niels.
