Better still, if the > information is provided in the outline.el code. I have found enough information to make it working, it was in the variables. And much is already documented: (info "(emacs) Outline Mode") Now if somebody wish to customize any variable, well... where to find the variables? What I do is: C-h v outline-TAB TAB or C-h v outline-minorTAB TAB and I look then in descriptions of those variables. Emacs is in general stable editor and it is already advanced. Customizing variables and modes is on a level more than advanced. Thus documentation on those variables is already there, as when person is level more than what Emacs Manual provides, that person has to know to find descriptions in docstrings of variables or in the source of the mode. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
