I recently filed a bug report about that hidden text in org-mode nodes did not get visible when you start to edit them. It turned out I was mistaken, I did not have reveal-mode on as I believed. However the plan is to make reveal-mode default: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6950 How would making the text read-only or add a modification hook interact with the kind of problem reported in the bug above? > Editing hidden code is an error, which should be signaled rather than cured > via hook. > > > Andreas > > -- > https://code.launchpad.net/~a-roehler/python-mode > https://code.launchpad.net/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/ > > > Am 26.08.2010 00:28, schrieb Martin Pohlack: >> >> Hi David, >> >> On 25.08.2010 11:22, David Abrahams wrote: >>> >>> I've gotten myself in trouble several times today by backspacing after >>> an org-link that ends a headline.
