Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Local definitions for `org-entities-user` are not recognized as "safe" even when they are in the correct format. For instance, including the following local variables list in an org-mode file will still result in Emacs prompting you to accept the value: # Local Variables: # org-entities-user: (("snowman" "[snowman]" nil "☃" "[snowman]" "[snowman]" "☃")) # End: Cause: The defcustom for `org-entities-user` has :safe set to the function `org-entities--user-safe-p`. This function, however, appears to be designed to validate a single entry of `org-entities-user`, rather than the full value. Locally redefining as follows results in the expected behavior: (defun org-entities--user-safe-p (v) "Non-nil if V is a safe value for `org-entities-user'." (seq-every-p (lambda (e) (pcase e (`nil t) (`(,(and (pred stringp) (pred (string-match-p "\\`[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*\\'"))) ,(pred stringp) ,(pred booleanp) ,(pred stringp) ,(pred stringp) ,(pred stringp) ,(pred stringp)) t) (_ nil))) v)) The difference is that the current logic has been supplied as a lambda to `seq-every-p`.
