Title ideas

Org-mode is the Afghanistan of parsers

Contents

footnote definition vs list item end conditions

They have different precedent despite identical values

Invisible, non-typeable escape character

Why not use the invisible escape character for the special case of entities

entities use {} to escape the end of an entity but the invisible non-typeable escape character used everywhere else would have worked here too.

So many different escape characters

• invisible escape character in general
• {} at the end of an entity
• comma at the start of a line

Comparison to other formats

might be fun to have a "remember the fallen" section
