I used ,---- | (defun outshine-comment-region (beg end &optional arg) | "Use comment-style that always inserts at BOL. | Call `comment-region' with a comment-style that guarantees | insertion of comment-start markers at beginning-of-line." | (interactive "r") | (let ((comment-style | (if (member comment-style '(indent-or-triple indent)) | 'plain | comment-style))) | (comment-region beg end arg))) `---- now, because normally outshine should be major-mode agnostic and just use the comment settings of the programming mode at hand. Only tested with Emacs Lisp though ... -- cheers, Thorsten
