No. Quoting will also affect '"' and other '\'. We must not try to be smart here. It will miss edge cases and be fragile in general. > Any better suggestions? Thanks. I am afraid that we cannot make things universally safe here without breaking changes. The best way will be treating :cmd and similar header args as unsafe and include them into the planned safety prompt system we discussed in https://orgmode.org/list/87edsd5o89.fsf@localhost -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
