Hi Michael,

Hi all,

An org-mode line with an emphasized link like that one taken from current Worg:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*Drop an email to [[mailto:bzg%20AT%20altern%20DOT%20org][Bastien]]* mentioning your username on repo.or.cz

I would write this as

   *Drop an email to* [[mailto:bzg%20AT%20altern%20DOT%20org][Bastien]]

i.e. take the link out of the bold section.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
shows the bold face in the Emacs Org buffer like expected. But it does not convert the emphasis and still shows `*' when exported to some formats:
- HTML: not converted
- LaTeX: could not check because of a missing setup on my side,
                  from the source code I guess that it converts
- DocBook: not converted
- ...: don't know about other formats and what they should support

After removing org-bracket-link-regexp from org-html-expand

What do you mean by this sentence?  What exactly did you do?

and org-docbook-expand the HTML and DocBook exports _are_ converted and look similar to the highlighting in the Emacs Org buffer. But the doc string of both functions tell:
"If there are links in the string, don't modify these."
Why should links be modified in org-mode but not in HTML or DocBook?

If there will be any change I would also like this:

I have applied this patch.


And: wouldn't it be nice for maintenance to have only one function for some sets of functions like
- org-html-expand, org-docbook-expand and possibly more
- org-html-do-expand, org-docbook-do-expand and possibly more
- org-export-html-convert-emphasize, org-export-docbook-convert- emphasize and possibly more - org-export-html-convert-sub-super, org-export-docbook-convert-sub- super and possibly more
- possibly more
because they have almost all code in common.

Yes, that would be nice.  It would also be nice if all exporters
would basically use the same code - but this is not how things
happened, unfortunately.
