#+TITLE: Filling comments
#+LANGUAGE: en
* Context
I've stopped using FillAdapt in Org files, and do not suffer any particular
problems, except this one (though, certainly unrelated).
* Problem
When trying to refill the comment directly in the following code block
(staying in the Org file), it has *no effect*.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; a single space does end a sentence. But this sentence is the longest I could write...
(setq-default sentence-end-double-space nil)
#+end_src
FYI, C-h k M-q gives:
╭────
│ M-q runs the command fill-paragraph, which is an interactive compiled
│ Lisp function in `fill.el'.
│
│ It is bound to M-q.
│
│ (fill-paragraph &optional JUSTIFY REGION)
│
│ Fill paragraph at or after point.
╰────
* Workaround
- Open it in a temporary buffer (via C-c ')
- Re-run M-q anywhere on the comment
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; a single space does end a sentence. But this sentence is the longest I
;; could write...
(setq-default sentence-end-double-space nil)
#+end_src
FYI, when inside the temporary buffer, C-h k M-q just gives exactly the
same (and expected command): =fill-paragraph=.
* Questions
I think this is quite new, but could not identify anything peculiar in my
config. Do you have the same?
Do you understand why?
Best regards,
Seb

Org doesn't know how to fill foreign code. Thus, you cannot fill
directly a src-block (or an example block or even an export block for
that matter).
As you tried, you can edit that chunk of code in a separate buffer with
the appropriate major mode (and subsequent filling rules) using C-c '.

For sure, that did work before -- at least in my setup... Maybe because of
FillAdapt and such, which I used back then.
Is there no way to make such a practical feature[1] available?
Best regards,
Seb
[1] For example, mails I get are enclosed in a "verse" block, and I've the
habit of reformatting them before saving my "inbox" file.

There's a mechanism to send commands to the src-block through the
appropriate major-mode. It may be possible to ask for a filling with
that. But I don't think Org should treat a src-block as plain text when
M-q is used.

Verse blocks are for free-form poetry and cannot be filled. I suggest to
use quote blocks, which can be filled, for that.

I used VERSE (instead of EXAMPLE) by following (what I understood from) your
advice, see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/33919.
Maybe that's stupid of mine, but I have such a capture template for received
emails:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("m" "Mail" entry
(file+headline ,org-default-notes-file "Tasks")
"* TODO %:subject%? (from %:fromname) :mail:
SCHEDULED: %t
%:date-timestamp-inactive
#+begin_verse
%i
#+end_verse
From %a"
:empty-lines 1 :immediate-finish t)))
#+end_src
That allows for
- easy followup of emails to answer to (by setting SCHEDULED to today), and
- nice HTML export (LaTeX not especially used) of project documentation (where
mail extracts may serve as documentation).
Now, I don't need anything special (no treatment of the emails contents), but
I need some "respectful" filling (what FillAdapt did), so that the following:
#+begin_quote
> I think VERSE (patched) is better than EXAMPLE because you can still
> benefit from text markup (and LaTeX snippets). Sadly, mails can
> sometimes be, well, very distant from poetry...
#+end_quote
does not become:
#+begin_quote
> I think VERSE (patched) is better than EXAMPLE because you can still >

be, well, very distant from poetry...
#+end_quote
when refilled.
Any better advice?
Best regards,
Seb

A verse block implies that every line of its contents have a line break.
You can do many things with verse blocks beside poetry, but certainly
not filling them.

This is some special requirement. Org doesn't know about message mode
filling rules.

Configure FillAdapt to be compatible with Org mode? Since it's a FAQ, it
may be useful to many people.
