You could detect if you're in an Org document beforehand. `org-fill-paragraph' obeys to `fill-column'. > Is it necessary to have the specialized function =org-fill-paragraph=? Is it > possible to use the canonical =fill-paragraph=? There is `fill-paragraph-function', but it only kicks when no region is selected. Using it would break region filling. There is also `fill-forward-paragraph-function', but I think it is too limited. In a nutshell, I didn't find any way to fill correctly Org documents using `fill-paragraph' mechanism. So I wrote the current implementation of `org-fill-paragraph', which is a wrapper around `org-fill-element'. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
