+** Markup View
+The variable, =org-hide-emphasis-markers=, is key to pretending that Emacs can be a word processor, however, since the org markup controls aren’t viewable, I find it challenging at times, to change that. The [[https://github.com/awth13/org-appear][org-appear project]] seeks to fix this by showing the markup when the point is nearby:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+   (use-package org-appear
+     :straight (:type git :host github :repo "awth13/org-appear")
+     :init (setq org-appear-trigger 'manual)
+     :hook
+     ((org-mode . (lambda ()
+                     (add-hook 'evil-insert-state-entry-hook
+                               #'org-appear-manual-start nil t)
+                     (add-hook 'evil-insert-state-exit-hook
+                               #'org-appear-manual-stop nil t)))
+       (org-mode . org-appear-mode)))
+#+end_src
+
+This makes the emphasis markers appear only in Evil’s insert mode.
 ** Typographic Quotes
 According to [[http://endlessparentheses.com/prettify-your-quotation-marks.html][Artur Malabarba]] of [[http://endlessparentheses.com/prettify-you-apostrophes.html][Endless Parenthesis]] blog, I type either a /straight single or double quote/, ", Emacs actually inserts Unicode rounded quotes, like “this”. This idea isn’t how a file is /displayed/, but actually how the file is /made/. Time will tell if this idea works with my auxiliary functions on my phone, like [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orgzly&hl=en_US&gl=US][Orgzly]] and [[https://github.com/amake/orgro][Orgro]].
