I just got the "wrong side of point" message again, in a situation that I
now remember has I believe triggered it numerous times. I was using
org-roam, and modify a node that looked like the following (which is
indented 2 spaces only in this email, not in the file it came from):
* the limits of logic | information | expression
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: c893937e-bca4-4a77-aa6c-ad481bf1d042
:END:
I added a "ROAM_ALIASES" line to it:
* the limits of logic | information | expression
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: c893937e-bca4-4a77-aa6c-ad481bf1d042
:ROAM_ALIASES: "limits of logic | information | expression"
:END:
WHen I then tried to save I got the error, which prevented me from saving
it. I removed all leading whitespace, because I seem to remember that that
worked once, but it didn't this time -- the following:
* the limits of logic | information | expression
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: c893937e-bca4-4a77-aa6c-ad481bf1d042
:ROAM_ALIASES: "limits of logic | information | expression"
:END:
was also unsaveable, due to the same error. So I entered text-mode
(leaveing org-mode), from which I could save. I then reloaded the file and
now it's not giving me problems.
