Let me clarify. Current state of affairs is: Org ignores `use-hard-newlines' Proposed: Org sometimes ignores `use-hard-newline' and sometimes not. I do believe that what you suggest is a good idea (respecting `use-hard-newlines' when filling). However, I notice that some people may be more confused if we implement this FR compared to the existing situation. So, I am asking for feedback from other users instead of accepting the FR. >>> - (fill-region-as-paragraph c end justify) >>> + (fill-region c end justify) >> >> There are 3 calls to `fill-region-as-paragraph' inside >> `org-fill-element'.

I replaced the one in paragraph > since that was where lack of hard-newlines support bit me. # This is # a comment #+begin_comment This is a comment block. #+end_comment See 13.6 Comment Lines section of the manual. I do not see why `use-hard-newline' should affect normal paragraphs but not comments. -- Ihor Radchenko, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at https://orgmode.org/.
