Subject: Blank lines in numbered lists need a space after the dot.
Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 22:40:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6318E344-422A-4D47-8481-40AD5A901009@alexanderonline.org> (raw)

This is odd, but since I've not yet taken the time to update my org- 
mode to the latest version, perhaps this is a non issue.  Would  
someone with an up-to-date version try this out.

org-version reports: Org-mode version 5.23a

version reports:  GNU Emacs 22.1.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0,  
Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 2007-10-02 on applecore.inf.ed.ac.uk -  
Aquamacs Distribution 1.2a


I have the following list under a headline, with blank entries:

*** Vacation Days
    1. <2008-03-20 Thu>
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.
    6.

If I (fold and then) unfold the headline to "CHILDREN", I see the  
following:

*** Vacation Days
    1. <2008-03-20 Thu>...
    3.
    4. ...
    6.

This looks odd to me: item number 2 is folded, as is item number 5.   
It looks like an out of sequence list, so I tried to renumber it using  
C-c C-c.  Then I see:

*** Vacation Days
    1. <2008-03-20 Thu>...2.
    3.
    4. ...5.
    6.

In recreating this, I discovered my inconsistency which seems to cause  
this: line items number 2 and 5 do not have a space after their  
period. Add some spaces, and there is no weirdness.  Take all the  
spaces away, and then "CHILDREN" folded headlines look like:

*** Vacation Days
    1. <2008-03-20 Thu>...

Now that I know that what looked like an 'out of sequence' list is  
just folded in a weird way, I'm over it.  I can certainly add the  
place holder space when I create blank line items manually (they are  
added automatically when I use M-<return>.  But it is curious, and  
probably unexpected behavior.  Is this easy to fix or has it already  
been fixed in the current update?

Maybe no fix is required.
