thx bastian, you suggested this: I sometimes use this crude method: M-< C-M-% ^C-qC-jC-qC-j+ RET C-qC-j RET i cant seem to get it working, i always get a "replace 0 occurrences" message. to be clear i do the following: i press M-< (mark set?) then C-M-% (query reolace) then enter : ^C-qC-jC-qC-j+ (as the what to replace) and press return the replace with i enter: C-qC-j and press return and the message is replace 0 occurrences is that correct? appreciate your help as always On Sun, Jun 30, 2013 at 4:30 PM, Bastien wrote: > Hi Xebar, > > Xebar Saram writes: > > > i was > > wondering if there was any command to auto pack empty space between > > headers? > > I sometimes use this crude method: > > M-< C-M-% ^C-qC-jC-qC-j+ RET C-qC-j RET > > Otherwise you can tweak `org-blank-before-new-entry'. > > HTH, > > -- > Bastien >
