Hi Everyone,
I am using longlines-mode with org-mode to do word wrapping. It is
useful in normal view to get wrapping at word boundaries, but it is
especially useful with vertical split windows (C-x 3) since they
default to not wrapping at all.
I have noticed a few wierd issues in org-mode related to the
pseudo-linebreaks managed by longlines mode.
The first issue is not really a big deal - if you are in an org list,
and are at the end of a wrapped line eg looks like:
+ adsf asdf adsf
asdf asdf{cursor here}
and you hit M-Enter, you get a heading of the most recent heading
level, not a new list entry. Presumably org-mode thinks the
longlines-mode soft-newline is a real newline
The second issue is bigger, relating to tables. If you make the first
line of a table and hit tab, eg:
|* col a *|* col b *|{TAB}
You get:
| * col a * | * col b * | | | |
so the newline that org-table-mode thinks it is inserting gets gobbled
by longlines-mode, or something like that.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a smarter way to get soft-word
wrapping in org-mode without using longlines-mode?
Mark.

I've taken only a brief look at longlines, but I can see not easy way to make longlines work with org-mode. Org-mode is strongly based on plain text format with hard line breaks. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I've just developed workarounds for the bugs that affect me, mostly inserting extra carriage returns here and there to ensure the right line breaks for org-mode. Carsten, if you have the option of minimizing these conflicts, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll just keep doing it manually - these two modes are both essential for my work now, so I'll do what it takes to make them get along locally. --Alan -- Alan Dove, Ph.D. alan.dove@gmail.com 917.273.0544 http://dovdox.com Gizmo or Skype: alandove ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Carsten, > if you have the option of minimizing these conflicts, that would be > great. I think this is really really hard. Basically, I would have to change all places where Org-mode inserts newlines that should be hard. Hmmm, maybe all newlines that org-mode inserts during internal commands should be hard? In this case, a brute-force solution might do the trick. This is not well tested, but it does make tables work as long as they are not broader than fill column: (defadvice insert (around make-org-mode-newlines-hard activate) "Make sure all org-mode functions insert hard newlines." (if (and (eq major-mode 'org-mode) (boundp 'longlines-mode) longlines-mode (equal "org-" (substring (symbol-name this-command) 0 4))) (let ((_beg (point))) ad-do-it (longlines-decode-region _beg (point))) ad-do-it)) (defadvice insert-before-markers (around make-org-mode-newlines-hard activate) "Make sure all org-mode functions insert hard newlines."

I do similar AOP-style things in Perl, but nothing that clean or simple. Having said that, it doesn't seem effective for me. It compiles fine (in my .emacs), but there is no change in functionality. I tried with org-mode 4.6.7 and then upgraded to .9. gnu emacs 22.0.94.1 I'm not familiar with the calling syntax of defadvice, so I'll keep playing. Thanks very much for the code. Mark.

So this will only work if you do not compile org.el to org.elc. If you remove org.elc and also any internal org.elc Emacs might be distributed with, then the advice will work - but you have to pay a speed penalty in Org-mode. - Carsten On Mar 26, 2007, at 17:34, Carsten Dominik wrote: > Hmmmm, the other day I had a working version, but you are right, what I > posted does not work.
