Hiding #+XXX lines

Hiding #+XXX lines

[Keith Lancaster]

I'm quite new to org-mode, and have only recently begun using emacs  
again (after an absence of 15 years or so..) so excuse the newbie  
question...

Is it possible to hide, during normal editing, the configuration /  
comment lines in a project file?

TIA,

I put my entire top-of-the-file configuration in a property drawer.  It 
can obviously be expanded on demand, but otherwise is not expanded (ie, 
when I load the file).

My .emacs has this (from Custom):
(custom-set-variables
  '(org-drawers (quote ("PROPERTIES" "SETUP" "LOGBOOK"))))

The my .org file has this at the top (for example):
:SETUP:
#+STARTUP:   hidestars odd lognoteclock-out lognotedone
#+LANGUAGE:  en
#+OPTIONS:   H:4 num:nil toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:{} *:t TeX:f 
#+CATEGORY:  PROJECTS
#+TYP_TODO:  TODO(t/@) INPROGRESS(i@/@)| CANCELED(C@/@) DONE(D@/@)
#+FILETAGS:  Work
:END:

I have a top-level headline at the end of my file named "Config" that's
tagged with ARCHIVE so it gets grayed out and doesn't open
automatically; I don't even notice it anymore

Thanks to both of you! I'll give each a try and see which works for  
me. On this topic generally, I am using separate files for each  
project. So far, I've been copying text similar to that below to each  
new project, but given the breadth of org-mode, I'm guessing that I'm  
"doing it wrong". How do you handle this?

Look up '#+SETUPFILE' in the the 'Concept Index' of the manual.  I think 
that is what you are looking for.
