Org allows *emphasis* markers to be surrounded by spaces to some markup:
1. Before opening emphasis marker we can have
space; -('"{
2. After closing emphasis marker we can have
space; -.,;:!?'")}\[
(see org-element--parse-generic-emphasis)
I keep looking at these rules and remain confused, even though I do
remember that Nicolas stated good reasons for this.
But... Why "[" can be after closing marker and _not_ before opening
marker. It is counter-intuitive. And what about "]"?
Can somebody dig into that mailing list archives and figure out the
reasons why some characters are allowed and some now. I will then put
them into code comments or maybe even into Org syntax spec.
