Then we would have a treelike structure as available in other applications too: If your change is supposed to apply to Outline mode in general, then you run into the difficulty that Outline mode does not necessarily use *'s to recognize heading lines, although the NEWS does. And it would be further abuse of the display property. Sincerely, Luc.
