polymode and comments in R Markdown files about polymode

[vspinu]

I think this is a markdown thing, or org-mode (which ever is responsible for folding). You should be able to reproduce without polimode. Simply do M-x mark-down-mode and see if you can replicate.

I cannot check it right now.

Oh, I wasn't really sure if it was a polymode problem... After I open the file, Emacs starts in (Markdown Rmd Wrap) mode. If I run M-x markdown-mode, it becomes only (Markdown Wrap). In this case, R chunks are not recognized as such any more, and the R comment simply becomes a "regular" section that I can unfold (and then all text is revealed)... Does that help? Is that something I should forward to Emacs markdown-mode developers? (to be honest, I'm not sure I really understand how polymode, ess and markdown really work together...

Thanks for your quick answer!

Yes, this is the problem. TAB folding it markdown feature, and the guys
at markdown-mode didn't consider the possibility that # could be a
comment in the code mode. This should be definitely corrected on their
side. I can sort if out in polymode by advicing their code, but this is
not ideal.

Please follow up to them on this and give me the link of the issue so
that I can also follow.

Thanks.

Wow, while I was looking for a contact page or some issue tracking system, I realized that I was actually 2 years behind for Emacs Markdown mode! My version (well, actually current Debian version...) is 1.8.1 from 2011, and markdown-mode 2.0 was released earlier this year... I will thus test first with the current stable and dev versions to see if the problem is still here. I'll let you know.

In the meanwhile, many thanks for your very fast answer! (and sorry again for the noise, it seems that I'm good at that lately...)

Here is an update to keep track of this problem. Last dev version did not solve the problem. Jason Blevins, author of markdown-mode, is now fully aware of the problem, with a simple reproducible example. It's now on his to-do list, but it may be a while before he actually has time to look at it... Wait and see.

Thanks for the update, Mathew.
