a '#' at the beginning of my text lines.

a '#' at the beginning of my text lines.

[J. David Boyd]

I like to put notes in my TODO items, like

*** TODO yadda yadda yadda 
    [CLOCK thing]

    The purpose of this note is to 
    figure out what I should do with
    the whatever, whenever.


However, now I am getting:

*** TODO yadda yadda yadda 
    [CLOCK thing]

    The purpose of this note is to 
    #figure out what I should do with
    #the whatever, whenever.



Where did the '#' characters come from, and how do I turn them off?

Hmm, it has something to do with turning on 'auto-fill-mode'.  If
auto-fill-mode is off, I don't see these. 

I'll have to dig in to this, because I _like_ auto-fill-mode, but I _don't_
like the '#'.

Auto fill mode has a "fill prefix" which is prefixed to every line
when auto filling happens.  (The fill prefix is also used for filling,
e.g. via M-q.)

There is a key for this, see below.  Use it at the beginning of the
line to set the fill prefix to nothing.

Kai

C-x . runs the command set-fill-prefix
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `fill.el'.
It is bound to C-x ..
(set-fill-prefix)

Set the fill prefix to the current line up to point.
Filling expects lines to start with the fill prefix and
reinserts the fill prefix in each resulting line.

This was already described earlier today.

For the time being,

   (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (setq comment-start nil)))

should fix this, the next version will have this fixed.

Yes, that works perfectly, thank you!
