a header TODO in README.org is not properly rendered

[dmgerman]

The file https://github.com/cregit/cregit/blob/master/authors/readme.org has a header

• TODO

but this header is not displayed when rendered.

If have seen hundreds of such render errors since weeks: https://github.com/nadar/aspsms/blob/master/README.md

I have not found any logical reason for this, nor an issues "from" github reviewing this problem.

For whatever reason, the word TODO is not being rendered. I think it's because it's part of the SEQ_TODO in line 4 of the file — if you remove just TODO while leaving the others, the header starts rendering as usual. If you remove the whole line, it doesn't work, presumably because TODO is part of SEQ_TODO's default value.

@nadar

The space characters after the # in your headers need to be regular spaces (ASCII value 32) — in your README.md, they are non-breaking spaces (Unicode codepoint 160). Try changing them to regular spaces. This has happened since our change to CommonMark.

Thank you @kivikakk - i just quickly created a fixer to clean up those wrong chars:

Maybe other people need something like this as well.

Hi @dmgerman 👋! As I mentioned, if you remove the whole line it doesn't work — I believe the "default" setting for whatever SEQ_TODO is includes TODO.

Try including this instead:

#+SEQ_TODO: STARTED DONE DEFERRED CANCELLED | WAITING DELEGATED APPT
