I have the following in my .emacs:
| ;;; If the last line is an item and you have a final newline,
| ;;; collapsing item bodies will result in
| ;;;
| ;;; ** eat marshmallows...
| ;;;
| ;;; where the ellipsis is simply eliding the final newline. This
| ;;; annoys me. Rather than fix org mode, I've opted to simply
| ;;; disable implicit adding of a final newline for this mode.
| (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
| (lambda ()
| (set (make-local-variable 'require-final-newline) nil)))
It would be better if org mode did this automatically. There is
a facility specifically for this:
| mode-require-final-newline is a variable defined in `files.el'.
|
| Documentation:
| Whether to add a newline at end of file, in certain major modes.
| Those modes set `require-final-newline' to this value when you enable them.
| They do so because they are often used for files that are supposed
| to end in newlines, and the question is how to arrange that.
|
| A value of t means do this only when the file is about to be saved.
| A value of `visit' means do this right after the file is visited.
| A value of `visit-save' means do it at both of those times.
| Any other non-nil value means ask user whether to add a newline, when saving.
|
| nil means do not add newlines. That is a risky choice in this variable
| since this value is used for modes for files that ought to have final newlines.
| So if you set this to nil, you must explicitly check and add
| a final newline, whenever you save a file that really needs one.
I posit that org-mode should set this variable to nil.
