Text that describes Outline minor mode is too long and more features
will be added to it, so better to split it to the separate node:

Pushed, but not yet closed. I could try to document
outline-minor-mode-highlight as well since its counterpart
outline-minor-mode-cycle was already added to the manual.

It sounds like this is a problematic option, whose use could produce
unwanted results. Are you sure it is a good idea to document it in
the manual?

I agree that it's not suitable for the manual.
Another question that I'm not sure about is whether it makes sense to
mention all outline-minor-mode supported modes in etc/NEWS? I mean
that we prepared outline-minor-mode related settings in some modes,
but not enabled outline-minor-mode in these modes.
For example, we set such values as outline-search-function,
outline-level, outline-minor-mode-use-buttons, etc.
in apropos-mode and xref. So the users could easily enable
outline-minor-mode in these modes, and it will work
without additional customization.
Does it make sense to list these modes in etc/NEWS, so users will know
where they can enable outline-minor-mode? Probably support for
apropos-mode could be mentioned under the section Help mode,
and outline-minor-mode for xref under the section Xref?
BTW, it looks like more links could be added to the manual:

If the list is not too long, I think listing those modes in NEWS would
be useful.

Adding cross-references is always a Good Thing, thanks. The only
situation where such cross-references could be inappropriate is if
some prior text in the same node and close enough already has a
cross-reference to the same place. In all other cases, such
cross-references are most welcome.

Also pushed to emacs-29.
