You are saying that the comments get removed with the blank line
because the blank line is considered part of the comments?
If so, I think the expectation of many users is that # comments only
the line itself, and not any other lines. That, at least, is my own
expectation.
In my case, the proposed solution changes the meaning of the comment.
For example:
===
a
b
c
d
# e
# f
new paragraph
===
If you make e and f a new paragraph, it is intended to be a new
paragraph and no longer refers to the previous paragraph.
I don't know the code, but is it possible that, instead of attaching
blank lines to elements, blank lines can be an element on their own?
Would that allow the needed flexibility and also add orthogonality for
other purposes?
Samuel
