I wonder if we should consider something more fancy for ascii backend (only). Delete blank lines between comment and headline, and between comment and comment.

You are saying that the comments get removed with the blank line because the blank line is considered part of the comments? If so, I think the expectation of many users is that # comments only the line itself, and not any other lines. That, at least, is my own expectation. In my case, the proposed solution changes the meaning of the comment. For example: === a b c d # e # f new paragraph === If you make e and f a new paragraph, it is intended to be a new paragraph and no longer refers to the previous paragraph. I don't know the code, but is it possible that, instead of attaching blank lines to elements, blank lines can be an element on their own? Would that allow the needed flexibility and also add orthogonality for other purposes? Samuel -- The Kafka Pandemic: http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com The disease DOES progress.

So, obviously, just add a blank line between "comments" and "# test" and it will not be removed. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
