Mark-up for bold and italic in emacs org-mode

In emacs org-mode, we can use mark-ups to set Emphasis and monospace.
e.g.

*bold*

/italic/

How can we make a word both bold and italic?
It seems neither */.../* nor /*...*/ works.

Solution

  • In fact, both of these do work.

    /*test*/

    exports to HTML as

    <i><b>test</b></i>

    */test/* works similarly. LaTeX / PDF export also works as you expect.

    Org itself doesn't fontify both the bold and italic, but the semantics are fine.
