Subject: Removing (modify-syntax-entry ?# "<")
Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2010 12:12:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1hblfgkp1.fsf@cam.ac.uk> (raw)
Hello Carsten,
Setting a comment starter without a corresponding comment ender is
problematic and the # creeps in mysteriously under auto-fill. For
example, in my current running emacs, this happens almost certainly in
all org files that has # in their header. The only (temporary) solution
seems to reboot emacs (which is painful and disruptive).
If you try eval (forward-comment 1) at the beginning of an org file that
has some "#+..." it will move to the end of file (the whole file is
regarded as one single comment). So when auto-fill a long text, it will
find the common prefix to be #.
In addition, I don't think org mode has clear comment syntax or ideas on
what to do with it.
I can't see any gain from (modify-syntax-entry ?# "<") so I am proposing
removing it entirely and get rid of this mysterious and annoying bug
once and for all.
The attached patch may (though I think it is quite safe) cause some bugs
but those will be fixable unlike the one mentioned above.
Best wishes,
Leo
