Re: [Orgmode] XHTML export -   etc.

[Eddward DeVilla]

I feel tempted to bring up my suggestion of [markup|text] format
again, but I've been resisting because I feel like a develish nag.  So
[*|at-syntax] could still be html specific if you really want
something html specific, but there would be something that could be
portable to all export formats.  It would just be a matter of deciding
what 'org' marks should be supported and making sure exporters try to
support them.  And of course there are other ways to get around *at
syntax*.
