Use orgstruct-mode to edit TWiki Markup language ?

Use orgstruct-mode to edit TWiki Markup language ?

[Rainer Stengele]

Hi all,

We (have to) use TWiki as a documentation tool in my company.
I already use Emacs erin-mode to edit the TWiki pages which is not bad.

What I am really mssing is something like the outline (folding) 
possibilities of org!

I know org provides the orgstruct-mode, but the problem is the different 
headline format of the TWiki markup language:

Example:

---+ Headline Level 1
    * text
    * text
---+ Headline Level 1
    i. text1
    i. text2
---++ Headline Level 2
---+++ Headline Level 3
---++++ Headline Level 4

I wonder if it would be possible to somehow locally set the regex which 
defines what a headline for org is.
As old perl hacker I would say the regex it is something as simple as 
^---[+]+\s

A configurable headline could serve in all similar cases where you find 
a regular formatted headline.


Of course I would be more than happy to have org produce TWiki markup 
language directly...

I export org files into TWiki with the following Carten posted:

perl -ape 's/^\*+/"---" . "+" x length($&)/e' input.org > output.txt

thanks.

thats ok when starting with an org file.

But having to continue to edit existing TWiki files that does not help 
and I would at least really like to use the outlining features of org.

As a starting point, maybe check outline-mode and outline-minor-mode.

(setq outline-regexp "^---\++") will help. 

Then look in the menu for the show/hide commands in outline.  Thus you
will have basic folding capabilities.  But not all the Org fun, sure.
