Question

In Emacs in org-mode I can have inline code snippets by enclosing the snippet with the = sign. Here is an example:

         

In the example above I have customized the face of org-code to make the background darker than the standard text background.

But is there a way to have Emacs hide the = signs? It would be great to have something like what org-mode does with links with syntax:

  [[link]]

where Emacs will display link instead of [[link]] (see documentation), and will show the brackets only when you want to edit the link.

Answer 1

Set org-hide-emphasis-markers to t. But note that this will also hide, for example the \ signs for italics and such.
