If there is an inline task at the end of a paragraph, when the document is exported with the =inlinetask= option set to =nil=, the space after the inline task and before the next paragraph will be ignored and the two paragraphs will combine as one.
For example, this document #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE ,#+OPTIONS: inline:nil toc:nil * title Here is some text which should not be cut by an inline task because it should respect the linebreaks and understand when a new paragraph starts. *************** TODO Fix this It's not good, so fix this. *************** END I think this is the right way to go. But there are some challenges. *************** TODO This could be better *************** END Another problem is that there is no way to fix the problem. #+END_EXAMPLE Exports as: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE ______ TEST me ______ 1 title ======= Here is some text which should not be cut by an inline task because it should respect the linebreaks and understand when a new paragraph starts. I think this is the right way to go. But there are some challenges. Another problem is that there is no way to fix the problem. #+END_EXAMPLE I think there should be two paragraphs. Ideally, the first paragraph should refill as well.
