After running C-c ' (apostrophe) on a shell script between #+BEGIN_SRC and #+END_SRC tags and returning to the org file using C-c ' again, comments in the script have a , (comma) prepended. If I have #+BEGIN_SRC shell-script #! /bin/bash # some comments here... they'll be preceded by commas after C-c ' editing # ls cat myfile # inline comment here, isn't affected #+END_SRC and do C-c ' to pull it into an edit buffer, then C-c ' again to go back to the org file, the result is #+BEGIN_SRC shell-script ,#! /bin/bash ,# some comments here... they'll be preceded by commas after C-c ' editing ,# ls cat myfile # inline comment here, isn't affected #+END_SRC Note the commas in front of each # (comment character). This seems to happen to # characters regardless of the editing mode... I tried a Java snippet with the same results: Before: #+BEGIN_SRC java # hash comment // java comment here public class MyClass() { private String myVariable; // inline comment here } #+END_SRC After: #+BEGIN_SRC java ,# hash comment // java comment here public class MyClass() { private String myVariable; // inline comment here } #+END_SRC I'm running the following: Org-mode version 6.06b GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-08-19 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched) Thanks for org-mode... I've been using this amazing piece of software almost as long as I've been using Emacs (a couple of years now). Regards, Don Womick
