Re: outline-heading-alist for elisp using ";; * "

[Christopher Dimech <dimech@gmx.com>]

Some have been trying to set outline-heading-alist fol/lowing the code in "texinfo.el".
I have also tried to set it up but have not been successful.

 ;; Outline settings.
  (setq-local outline-heading-alist
	      ;; We should merge `outline-heading-alist' and
	      ;; `texinfo-section-list'.  But in the mean time, let's
	      ;; just generate one from the other.
	      (mapcar (lambda (x) (cons (concat "@" (car x)) (cadr x)))
		      texinfo-section-list))
  (setq-local outline-regexp
	      (concat (regexp-opt (mapcar 'car outline-heading-alist) t)
		      "\\>"))
