Oh? I also thought it served a purpose, since Org mode 9.7.11 inserts them when editing code. Consider the following org code: #+begin_src elisp (message "abc *def") #+end_src This has no leading commas atm, but when you edit the source block with C-c ' (org-edit-special / org-edit-src-code), and save that buffer with C-c ' (org-edit-src-exit), org inserts the trailing comma before the '*'. Is this a bug, then, or do I still misunderstand the reason the commas are there?
