Re: Newbie: How to customize the headline-text with outline-mode

[Xavier Maillard <xma@gnu.org>]

   The objective is that that I can quickly locate the test-case that
   fails and expand it out.

   I understand that I can customize the the definition of the header by
   changing the contents of "outline-regexp", but could not figure out
   how I can change the text that will be displayed after hiding the
   leaves.

   I did search this group and also on google for any tips but failed.

   Any help would be highly appreciated.

An alternative to the regular outline-mode is to use org-mode
which overloads it and just surpasses it by a factor of 1000.

I am doing something close to what you do except I coded a log
function that produces logs in a format understandable by org
directly.

I am then producing what is named a column view of this data
which just shows the information very fast.

My need is to display time passed to do different things (I have
a script which computes statistics of my databases for example.
As I am auditing time spent there, I need to know how long it
takes object by object).

What's more org is now part of official GNU Emacs distribution.

For more informations, just go to http://orgmode.org.

My recent posting[1] about that realization could be interesting
for you too.
