Hi folks,

In the last few days hitting M-<enter> on a headline has inserted an
empty line between the headline and the new line I'm trying to
create. I end up with:

,----
| 
| * header 1
| 
| * header 2
| 
`----


instead of

,----
| 
| * header 1
| * header 2
| 
`----

I'm guessing I've mucked something up, but I'm not sure what. Ideas?

Hi Cameron,

a relatively recent change is causing this new behavior.

The default is now to automatically insert an empty line
if the current headline does also have an empty line before it.

So If you have an empty line before "header 1", then you
will get an empty line before "header 2".  However, if you
then go back and remove the empty line before "header 2"
and afterwards insert a "header 3", no empty line will be
inserted.
The same is true for plain list items.

It seems to me that this is the best behavior, but if
you always prefer no empty line, customize the variable
`org-blank-before-new-entry'.

HTH

This also happens with lists:

1. item

2. item

but not if you have
1. item
2. item
and then add a third item with M-<enter>

I suppose that's intended? If yes, I don't think it's convenient.

Cheers, Jörg

Ah, I could SWEAR I tried getting rid of blank lines, but it seems I
didn't. Now to customise that variable and report my customisation.

The idea you had about org-mode spyware isn't so bad. I'm sure there's
a startup somewhere that would pay for that information ;-)

If you don't like this behavior, you can turn it off by adding the
following to your .emacs file:

(setq org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading) (plain-list-item)))

Best,

Matt
