#+TITLE: Filling comments
#+LANGUAGE: en
* Context
I've stopped using FillAdapt in Org files, and do not suffer any particular
problems, except this one (though, certainly unrelated).
* Problem
When trying to refill the comment directly in the following code block
(staying in the Org file), it has *no effect*.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; a single space does end a sentence. But this sentence is the longest I
could write...
(setq-default sentence-end-double-space nil)
#+end_src
FYI, C-h k M-q gives:
╭────
│ M-q runs the command fill-paragraph, which is an interactive compiled
│ Lisp function in `fill.el'.
│
│ It is bound to M-q.
│
│ (fill-paragraph &optional JUSTIFY REGION)
│
│ Fill paragraph at or after point.
╰────
* Workaround
- Open it in a temporary buffer (via C-c ')
- Re-run M-q anywhere on the comment
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; a single space does end a sentence. But this sentence is the longest I
;; could write...
(setq-default sentence-end-double-space nil)
#+end_src
FYI, when inside the temporary buffer, C-h k M-q just gives exactly the
same (and expected command): =fill-paragraph=.
* Questions
I think this is quite new, but could not identify anything peculiar in my
config. Do you have the same?
Do you understand why?
Best regards,
Seb
