"# ..." is not meant as an inline paragraph. You > can comment inline with something like @@comment:...@@. For me, using the "@@comment:..@@" syntax gives exactly the same results as using "# ..." (an extra blank line in the output). Of course I can do something like "#+LaTeX: % ..." which will work, but then the convenience of being able to quickly comment and uncomment lines is lost. Regardless of what the current org syntax is defined as, I am trying to argue that it is counter-intuitive, and also makes doing useful things difficult.

Re: [O] Blank lines in LaTeX output due to org-mode comments
One other use case: when you want to comment out a single line in a paragraph, or have a few different lines within a paragraph that you wish to be able to select among by leaving only only one of them uncommented.

These are easy to recognize. See > `org-export--delete-comments' for an example. I'm inclined to view it more as a bug, because it makes it impossible to place comments within a paragraph. Paragraphs consist of sentences, and perhaps you'd like to make a note related to one of those sentences (in fact I do). On the other hand, if the behavior was to not create blank lines, it wouldn't be difficult to add a blank line either before or after a comment if desired. Furthermore, the behavior is inconsistent with how LaTeX comments behave (which may not matter, but it may be easier for people who know both org-mode and LaTeX for the behavior to be consistent). At the least, I think it would be helpful to have a built-in option that allows one to select the preferred behavior.

Comments separate paragraphs, so you really have two paragraphs in the first example, but only one in the second example. You can handle comments differently by adding a function in, e.g. `org-export-before-processing-hook', that will take care of removing commented lines. These are easy to recognize. See `org-export--delete-comments' for an example. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
[O] Blank lines in LaTeX output due to org-mode comments
Assume we have the following sample org-mode document: * Test Heading test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test # HERE IS A COMMENT TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST I would assume that in org-mode the comment line would be completely ignored when exporting the document, however this seems not to be the case -- notice the difference when exporting the following to LaTeX: * Test Heading test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST In the first example, there is a blank line inserted at the location of the comment, and in the second example, obviously there is not a blank line at this location. Let me know if there's a way to make it so that org-mode doesn't insert the blank line. Thanks!
