I think I see what you mean: if the comment would not be there, the text would look as follow: ,---- | Some text |=20 | Some other text `---- for the exporter. So the comment here ,---- | Some text | # comment | Some other text `---- is ignored, but not the empty line resulting - is this correct? I think the confusion is that comments in org are between comment lines and inline comments in this regard.=20 > > This may not be perfect, but, as for me, it's good enough. > [snip: examples (24 lines)] > > Again, I think comments are acceptable, once you are aware about their > limitations.
