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. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.3.50.1, Org release_8.0.5-337-g9f3bed
