Re: how to end the effect at the middle of a phrase

I have also been thinking about this, since I am running into the same 
problems. I would be in favor of introducing a '\ ' escape sequence 
(backslash followed by a space) which terminates a command without 
introducing a space.

For example "(bla \a x and \a y\ )" would give "(bla x and y)" with 
only x and y in a special font.
And "\link object_reference Object\endlink\ s" would give "Objects" 
with only the word "Object" as link.

If you really need a '\' followed by a space this is already catered 
for by escaping the '\' with '\\ '.

Would this be a possible solution or would it break something I have 
overlooked?
