  • Org-mode is splendid and i use it almost every day, but i think what op is asking for is something different. If i want to write something like this:

    s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵

    i would use +stroke+ in Org-mode. If i then set org-hide-emphasis-markers to t, the + signs are hidden, but they are still there. If i save the file, and open it in another program, it is still +stroke+, instead of the unicode variant. The feature asked for was intended for the following use-case:

    It would make reading plain text notes/todo lists cross-device simpler.

    Which Org-mode would fail to deliver on.


















    • boot from a btrfs snapshot
    • run docker without running a second kernel
    • boot an older kernel, in case something fails
    • run the system completely without a gui, to save video RAM for other tasks
    • distro hopping
    • use multiple desktop environments
    • use your computer without a mouse
    • create a directory named CON
    • use old hardware painlessly
    • have your system not spy on you without extra effort
    • create weird stacks of software raid, volume manager, disk encryption and filesystems and then boot from it
    • read the kernel developer mailing list and be hyped for new kernel features like bcachefs, which will hopefully come someday
