Hi Daniel,

thanks for looking deeper into the issue.

As you have noticed yourself, your proposal fixes only half of
the problem.  Doing this emphasis with a regular expression
is really hard, and each time you change something, another
thing will break.  The real solution for this would be to
switch to a programmed solution instead of a regular
expression search.

Your proposed change does fix a problem, but it also breaks
the structure of how the emphasis regexp is constructed.  BODY
is supposed to match a character that should be emphasized.  Maybe
it can be re-written so that this does not have to be part of the BODY.

Also, there are similar issues with this in tables: Try

  | *h | h  |
  | h  | h* |

or also with comments:

 Some text *h mamma mia
# terminate bold in comment*

So I will out this on the back burner and try to get myself
to implement programmed emphasis at some point.

Sorry.

- Carsten

Yes, this is kind of hard to fix...... And a minor issue, I guess... ?


 Yes, it's a minor issue. I like minor issues :-)

 There are two display problems here:
- a face defined before a heading enters the heading (like the =eee…=)
- a face defined in a heading goes on past the heading (like the *iii…)

I did some tests with org-emph-re (original value: [1]); the interesting part is \\(?:\n.*?\\)\\{0,1\\} because it is the one that allows the face to extend up to 1 line below. The .*? from there comes from the so-called body in org-emphasis- regexp-components, body="." I have done some tests and I think that body="\\(?:\\*+[^\n ]\\|[^ \n*]\\)." fixes the first problem. The expression represents a non- heading line: anything not starting by * (except when the initial * precedes a word) and then many other characters (a "*?" at the end will be added by org-set-emph-re)
 Final value: [2]

Is this added complexity worth it? The bug is unpleasant (headings aren't coloured as headings) and performance shouldn't be much affected in the common case because ^\\* fails early. Only visually it is a complex regexp.

I don't know how to detect the other problem inside a regular expression. Maybe there's some way to ask „don't cross boundaries between headings and content“.
