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

[John Kitchin]

My current solution (which already differs from the last one I posted
here...) is here:

https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/scimax-org-src-blocks.el#L61

It is more selective, and only changes the syntax inside these src
blocks:

"jupyter-python" "python" "emacs-lisp"

and does not change the syntax if the character is in a string.

That way it still works with xml and html in strings, or in their own
blocks.

This might be the third iteration of fixing this issue, so I wouldn't
have the hubris to say it is the final solution yet.
