Hi,
Moving from old org-mode versions (6.33 or 7.9.3f-17-g7524ef) to the
latest stable one currently (8.3.2), I noticed two changes which made me
out of my comfort zone.
- Demoting/promoting a header now changes the indentation of text below.
I
reverted to the previous mode with '(setf org-adapt-indentation nil)'
in ~/.emacs, and that's fine but I mentioned it in case it has an impact
on point#2.
- 'M-x fill-region' does not fill custom lists
as before. In the previous version, I could select and fill several
mixed paragraphs/lists directly. For example, filling the following
block (without --- separator added as a delimiter in this message)
---------------
# a very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong comment
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled over 2 lines
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence that should be filled over 2 lines
---------------
resulted in (version 6.33 or 7.9.3):
---------------
# a very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong comment
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence
that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled
over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be
filled over 2 lines
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence
that should be filled over 2 lines
---------------
and now results in (version 8.3.2):
---------------
# a very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong comment
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence
that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled over 2 lines
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence
that should be filled over 2 lines
---------------
Lists are not filled anymore and I have to select each list entry and fill it individually to get the same output.
So my questions are:
- Is there any simple way to revert to the previous mode with a variable?
- Else,
could you explain briefly where I should look if I want to understand
why the filling is skipped in this case, and eventually change it if I
cannot change my mind and adapt to this different behavior? I had a look
at function (org.el:23249 org-setup-filling) but I am not sure this is
the right location.
Thanks, and have a nice day.
