In this case there's only *one* comma, which serves to escape the asterisk, as I see it. You can get the same effect if you run `org-toggle-comment` twice on the same region. (It would be nice if the region did not have to disappear after the first invocation.)
The issue I was raising is putting commas before each line in the block. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rens Oliemans" <[email protected]> To: "Ihor Radchenko" <[email protected]>, "Raoul Comninos" <[email protected]> Cc: "emacs-orgmode" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 8, 2025 10:12:25 AM Subject: Re: Commas in org source blocks Oh? I also thought it served a purpose, since Org mode 9.7.11 inserts them when editing code. Consider the following org code: #+begin_src elisp (message "abc *def") #+end_src This has no leading commas atm, but when you edit the source block with C-c ' (org-edit-special / org-edit-src-code), and save that buffer with C-c ' (org-edit-src-exit), org inserts the trailing comma before the '*'. Is this a bug, then, or do I still misunderstand the reason the commas are there?
