But since a few weeks there is: - Term1 :: description (try to press ALT-RET here) - Term2 :: description (try to press ALT-RET here) Are you aware of this syntax? 'Term' is displayed as bold text then. Unfortunately this is currently only supported for XHTML-Export, where this becomes a definition-list: <dl> <dt>Term1</dt> <dd>description (try to press ALT-RET here)</dd> <dt>Term2</dt> <dd>description (try to press ALT-RET here)</dd> </dl> It does not work like this on LaTeX export though. But I guess this will follow soon (it's quite a fresh feature). > granted this is largely just synactic sugar, but small edit helpers like > this are part of what make org so great! > > Do you think features like this would be generally useful and practical > to implement? Definetively, yes. All that's needed is some volunteer to implement the feature in org-export-latex.el or where ever.
