Yes, right. But what about when you want to use a longish one and want to break the line? Can you believe that me, Daniel Jacobson, 43 years old, had to use e.g.,: # Local Variables: # compile-command: "invoke-rc.d chrony restart && sleep 2 && : ' #' && grep chrony /var/log/syslog|tail -19" # End: Which is OK with me, but I wish you would document what to do in this situation. (Yes I want all #'s.)
