[O] parsing fixed with section
Dear all, As I understand it, a fixed width section (BTW, is fixed width section the official term for this?) is defined as a line which is started by zero or more spaces, and then a colon, *and then a space*, and then zero or more characters. :spcline1 :spc :spcline3 But many editors (Emacs including) likes to trim trailing spaces, so when the file is saved, the second line loses its space: :spcline1 : :spcline3 Should the second line be parsed as a fixed width section too or not? -- sh

Hello, Steven Haryanto stevenharya...@gmail.com writes: As I understand it, a fixed width section (BTW, is fixed width section the official term for this?) Yes. is defined as a line which is started by zero or more spaces, and then a colon, *and then a space*, and then zero or more characters. :spcline1 :spc :spcline3 But many editors (Emacs including) likes to trim trailing spaces, As far as I know, this doesn't happen in Emacs, unless you specify it explicitly (i.e. in some hook). so when the file is saved, the second line loses its space: :spcline1 : :spcline3 Should the second line be parsed as a fixed width section too or not? I'd say yes. You may have noticed that exporters already treat that line as fixed-width section anyway. But this is inconsistent with fontification (and indentation) in the buffer. I've pushed a commit to fix this inconsistency in master. Thanks for pointing this out. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
