Re: Bug Re: Greater than, less than bug in emacs-lisp source block

[John Kitchin]

That is probably a matter of opinion.

If you use angle brackets as delimiters, e.g. in html, xml in src-blocks, then the current syntax definition makes sense because you can use them to find open and closing brackets, navigate them, etc.. If you don't use those, it makes less sense, and maybe isn't even something you want.

Thank you, John.

I will give it a try.

However, is this a bug that should be fixed within org source code?
