Outline mode may accomplish what I want; I'll try it.
I'm trying to apply indent-relative to more than one line of text, to
align it with text above.
Should I submit a bug regarding the manual's confusing description?
If so, where -- gnu.emcas.bugs?
Thank you all for all your help. I haven't coded for over a decade,
but I'm just starting to use Emacs as a text editor and find it very
efficient.
