ented candles?
SDK: It wasn't too hard. One thing I enjoyed was looking at the historical parallels. I have this strong view that economists don't really know their history at all.
JB: What gives you optimism?
SDK: Technology will deliver higher living standards. My concern is that the gains in living standards are not sufficient to the promises we made ourselves.
Secondly, for all of the difficulties in the book, there are lots of things one can do that have nothing to do with the plain vanilla, nuts and bolts of economics. There are lots of aspects of happiness that don’t deal with the generation of income. In my spare time, for example, I try to play the piano. It gives me huge pleasure, but I don't think there is any impact on national income. If anything, I think there is a negative impact because my wife has to listen to it from time to time.I generally run in Fundamental mode. Since ASCII is really only a 7-bit code, I use the high bit to indicate italics. I wrote a Java program for printing; it makes all characters 16-bit, despite their starting as 8-bit,so no problem. For emacs, I wrote the necessary hooks to catch high bits in a file's 8-bit characters; on readin, the high bits are cleared, and characters intended to be italic get an italic property, instead; on writeout, characters with the italic property get their high bits set; no sweat, the hooks work.
what if the original text contained slashes, intended as ordinary text, not escape characters? What if the slashes themselves are intended to be italicized?
Is there some way to tell Org mode to use different escape characters? Or to make ordinary emacs characters with the italic property, copy and paste, like God intended?

specific encoding to other buffers.
>  You tell me to "surround" slashes by zero-width-space characters, to keep them from being taken as italic escapes.OK. First problem: what, exactly, is the zero-width space character? I won't be entering text with my fingers, a lispfunction I wrote will be inserting the characters I need. So, exactly what 8-bit value is a zero-width-escape? 00000000?The example in 17.12 seems to put the zero-escape after the control character it's supposed to affect, but then theeffect of it balances forward. 12.6 tells me I also have to put a comma before any line beginning with a star, despitethe fact that my only purpose was to deal with italics. I need to write a function which works, first time, every time;I can't keep playing around with each piece of text it applies to, until it works on that one. OK, helping me get afunction written is not your job, but I shouldn't need.odt and/or pandoc; I should not have needed your help,at all: plain vanilla copy/paste in emacs should bring along text properties within the scope of the copied text.
> Still, I do appreciate your help.
