We don’t ship longlines.el and the same thing happens with GNU
Emacs, so future questions on its behaviour would probably be
more usefully addressed to the package’s authors.
I was not sure whether may be
newline was implemented differently in
both maces
The difference
is, from the docstring of “newline”:
The newline is marked with the text-property `hard'. With
optional arg N, insert that many newlines. In Auto Fill
mode, if no numeric arg, break the preceding line if it's
long."
and indeed (progn (insert "\n") (put-text-property (1-
(point))
(point) 'hard 't)) successfully inserts a newline.
Yeah I thought it had to
do with hard via soft. But before I used
(insert "\n") I executed
use-hard-newlines
thinking this would be enough. I see I should have used
put-text-property. That did not occur to me.
Thanks
