Re: [O] org-forward-paragraph doesn't work programatically (called from Lisp)

[Gerald Wildgruber]

Hi,

I'm using git checkouts for both emacs and Org mode:

Org mode version 9.1.14 (release_9.1.14-921-g13626a)

GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.30) of 
2018-09-20

Yet, I can't get any result: upon evaluating the "let" in the scratch buffer, I 
just get "nil" in the echo area, and nothing else has happened, none of the 
files in the directory is touched.

@Nikolay: can you confirm that this worked for you?

Same thing with a single file:

(let ((fill-column most-positive-fixnum))
  (dolist (f (list "~/lorem.org"))
    (with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect f)
      (while (not (eobp))
        (fill-paragraph)
        (org-forward-paragraph))
      (save-buffer))))

Just "nil" and nothing else.

Thanks

Here's the single file lorem.org I tried to unfill:
