Indeed, there are many times - notably all programming and configuration modes - where you don't want filling and absolutely not automatically so. >> Is there a LaTeX submode for hiding markup or search >> function to disregard it? > > That would be cool.

If you can hide markup, what remains to do is a search function that treaties newlines and whitespace the same, as it can appear as a newline in the source, but a whitespace in the .pdf. Very doable. If you tell me how to hide in AUCTeX I'll install that instantly and try it. > Fair enough.

I never tried Org-mode but I heard a lot about it so I assume it is great. However for me personally I'm a bit of a fanatic. I don't want any transitions between representations. I'm not convinced I can write better HTML, LaTeX, C++ documentation, etc. than Org-mode or some other tool. But I'm not convinced of the opposite either. And what tips the scale is that, if I run into a problem with LaTeX/HTML/etc. I go right to the source and fix it. If I used a [semi-]WYSIWYG, where would I go? No, I'll stay close to the heat! -- underground experts united
