Re: org-hide-emphasis-markers

[Colin Baxter]

Dear Joost,

Thanks. I've used you second suggestion and it works beautifully. I
haven't tried your first suggestion since I already have trouble
remembering what I've put in my emacs-init file without adding to the
memory problem.

Thanks again,,
Best wishes,
Colin.
