True but the original three lines (text, comment, text) gets exported
differently to LaTeX and to HTML.  The former results in one paragraph;
the latter in two.  So even though you may treat the two text lines as
separate elements in the parser, the LaTeX output is as if they were one
element as there is no blank line between them (LaTeX's paragraph
separator).

But I'm happy with how things are!  I export to LaTeX mostly and
comments basically act as inline comments when they sit between two
normal paragraphs.
