It is actually possible, but you will need to write an org-export-before-parsing-hook that will convert all the comments into exportable elements. Not tested, but the hook might be something like (defun org-export-replace-comments (_) "Replace all the comments with note blocks." (org-element-cache-map (lambda (comment) (setf (buffer-substring (org-element-property :begin comment) (org-element-property :end comment)) (format "#+begin_note\n%s\n#+end_node\n" (org-element-property :value comment)))) :granularity 'element :restrict-elements '(comment))) Best, Ihor
