R help - Jul 2018 - ESS issue: lines moved right 40 spaces

Hello,

I'm not sure I understand your question correctly but? I'll give it a
try anyway.

Do you use single # or double hash ## when you comment?
as far as i know there are 3 types of comment indentation on ESS.

#
##
###
In principle comment with # get centered.

Jeremie,

   I was not aware of this I've always used a single # for comment
everywhere that's the correct symbol. I'll try two of 'em.

Thanks,

Rich

   Reading the 17.11 user guide I see what #, ##, and ### do. I also put the
suggested line to remove the fancy comments in ~/.emacs but it didn't seem
to help when I restarted emacs.

   The SBo ess package maintainer found the build problem: the script puts
the info file in the wrong directory (it changed from 5.14). He'll have a
working script done in a day or two.

   My thanks to all!

Rich
