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.
1. 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.
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.
