I have the following fill-mode related settings: (setq-default fill-column 90) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
I just noticed this behavior the other day when adding a note for a report: #+begin_src org Note: this line, starting with a plain vanilla word will wrap just fine. It will not go on and on and on and on. /Note:/ this line, starting with a word in italics markup will wrap just fine. It will not go on and on and on. *Note:* this line, starting with a word in bold markup will not wrap just fine. It will go on and on and on. #+end_src I'm not sure if this has always been the case or if a change affected some behavior. It strikes me that I would have used this notation before and I never noticed this, so my intuition is that it's a change-related issue. Let me know if I should check other config options that might be causing this. I could post a link to a paste-bin of my .emacs if that would help diagnose. Thanks, John
