Comments in Org-mode

Comments in Org-mode

[Manuel Amador]

Hi everybody, 

I think I have found a bug (or a feature!). Sometimes when
writing documents I tend to comment out a line by adding a "#"
in the column 0. However, after doing this in a line at the
middle of the document, I get the following behavior:

------------------------------------------------------------
* Random stuff

  Some initial things. 
   
# Then I comment this line out

  But when I keep writing a sufficiently long line such that  
# the cursor moves to the next line, a "#" character creeps in!
# and will keep appearing for the remainder of the document. 
----------------------------------------------------------

The last two starting "#" characters are unintentional, they are
put there automatically by emacs. 

(I am using fill-mode, my org-mode is from the git repository,
and my version of emacs is 23.0.91.1 running in Ubuntu)

I just tried that in 6.24b with auto-fill-mode, and no problems.

Same here. Maybe it's the "old" emacs development-snappshot?
There where quite some bugs - it's not a release version.

I know I saw that problem...

I use the current emacs CVS version and it's fine.


emacs 23.1.50.1, org-mode 6.24a, Debian testing.

Re: Comments in Org-mode

[Manuel Amador]

Hi Sebastian and Russell,

You are correct. The problem appears after I comment a region in org-mode with:

M-x comment-region <enter> # <enter>

After that, every time auto-fill does its magic, I get a # at the
beginning of each new line.

Re: Comments in Org-mode

[Russell Adams]

Wow! I can duplicate that!

I did the same, and started typing after a region I had used
comment-region on, and it commented new lines after that during fill.

As far as I know, I fixed it in the thread whose subject is
"Protecting comment lines from fill-paragraph".

Re: Comments in Org-mode

[Manuel Amador]

Samuel,

Thanks for replying. The thread that you mentioned however, seems to
be concerned with a different issue.

My issue shows up not just in a line right after a commented line, but
could happen anywhere later in the text. That is, after the
comment-region command is used, every time a new line is automatically
created, it starts with #.

I do not experience the problem you describe.

Did you try the solution anyway?  If it doesn't work, there are things to try.

Ahh - yes. If I comment something with

  M-x comment-region <enter> # <enter>

it happens here, too.


I never did that in Org-mode - I simply add an `#' and that's OK.

To comment a region I do

   C-x r t # RET

as `comment-region' doesn't seem to do the right thing anyway (add the
comment character in line 0) and it's faster to type (in c-mode we have
`C-c C-c' which I use a lot though).

Shouldn't Org-mode provide it's own `comment-region-function'? Or at
least re-define `comment-start' et al?

I cannot duplicate the problem (but only partially). I experienced extra
comment lines inserted only when there was no space between the initial
comment line and the uncommented line, i.e.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Then I comment this line out
  But when I keep writing a sufficiently long line such that  
# the cursor moves to the next line, a "#" character creeps in!
# and will keep appearing for the remainder of the document. 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I did not experience extra comment lines in lines further down the text.

I'm running the latest git org-mode and a recent development emacs --
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.2) of
2009-07-01 -- on archlinux.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/13312

I can confirm that Samuel's advice above offers an interim fix for the
problem I was experiencing (i.e., comment lines added on filled lines
when there was no empty line between the initial commented line and the
subsequent uncommented line --- now that's a mouthful!). I'm not sure
whether the fix addresses the problem of unwanted comment lines father
down in the text (which I could not replicate).

Best,
Matt

Re: Comments in Org-mode

[Samuel Wales]

If it does not fully solve the problem, make comment-start a local
variable, check fill-prefix, and make sure your load and mode hooks
don't affect filling, or if they do, that they are idempotent.

       (setq comment-empty-lines t)
       (set (make-local-variable 'comment-start) "#")

I can reproduce it with `emacs -Q' here (transient-mark-mode is t in
current emacs 23). The trick is to use `comment-region'.

Here's the recipe:


sh$  emacs -Q

  C-x d ~/emacs/lisp/ext/org-mode/lisp RET
  % m \.elc$   RET
  L y
  L y
  L y
  L y
  L y

  ... until files are loaded successfully

  C-x C-f file.org
  M-x auto-fill-mode



To get the error, you must select a region:

   C-SPACE C-n C-n C-n
   M-x comment-region RET # RET

Note here: the indentation is wrong. You might want to correct this,
before going on (comment char not in first column). It doesn't change
the behavior.


Now type some `C-j' more text and see what happens.




The bad thing is, once it started, it never ends. No matter where text
is wrapped, you get the `#' at the start of line.







Also, _no_ comment char is inserted, if add a comment by hand without a
preceding new line. To try this, you'll have to restart emacs -Q

       weoru oeori tueportpoeiurptoeiurtopueoru toeuiroeuir topewrtoeoru
       toeu toe  ewprou oeur poeuiopuwe rteowp ru erwoi uteo t.

Yes.  Running this command sets the variable comment-start, which
then breaks automatic filling.  I have never understood why, it would
be nice to fix this problem, but I don't know how.

Samuel's solution to use filladapt might work, but it replaces much
of Org's wrapping code with something else - which I don't really want.

It works for me.  However, I don't know if the fix was my changes to
filladapt or the fact that I set comment-start to be buffer-local.
See my posts earlier in this thread.

It does work for me, for what it's worth :).  But perhaps suitable for contrib.
