The orgmode markup rules make this a bit of a mess. Actually, at
least the content is undisturbed here, but I've seen worse -- for
example, an otherwise well formatted table in which the columns have
phone numbers with country codes starting with '+'. This leads to
strikeout marks that actually strike through the cell contents!
So, would it make sense to turn off in-buffer markup under headings
marked with the QUOTE keyword? Of course, prefixing every line with
':' has the desired effect, so there is an existing work-around, but
requiring the prefix seems to make 'QUOTE' not very powerful/useful.
Indeed, QUOTE is useless and therefore has been removed from the docs.
(I can't find 'QUOTE' in the documentation now, so maybe this
feature has been deprecated? But, #+BEGIN/END_EXAMPLE has the same
problem.)
Not anymore.
