M-q fill-paragraph and timestamps

M-q fill-paragraph and timestamps

[Russell Adams]

Minor question, I frequently use inactive timestamps in org, and
noticed that M-q (fill-paragraph) will often combine my timestamp in
with the text I'm writing.

Is there a method to prevent that?

ie:

[2013-03-11 Mon 11:33]
This is a typical note.

[2013-03-11 Mon 11:33]
I did it again, but now I'm wrapping and it considers the timestamp as
text to be filled instead of excluded and kept on it's own line.

(apply M-q)

[2013-03-11 Mon 11:33] I did it again, but now I'm wrapping and it
considers the timestamp as text to be filled instead of excluded and
kept on it's own line.

Thanks.

Adding double \'s didn't work for me.

Any other ideas?

No other ideas.  It works in Emacs 24.2 with git master; did you try
point in par?

I'm on 23.3, I wonder if fill-paragraph changed.

Thanks.

Not unless you use a workaround/hack.  "Floating" timestamps are part
of paragraphs, so M-q does the right thing here.  IOW, you need want
to separate the time-stamp and the paragraph with a blank line.

HTH,
