change headings to list but have a nested numeration?

change headings to list but have a nested numeration?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I start with this part

* The pseudo code
** The actual Matlab code
** Initialisation 
*** Details

Which is converted via org-ctrl-c-minus
to 
* The pseudo code
  - The actual Matlab code
  - Initialisation 
    - Details

However here the structure depends on the indentation and that might not
be that rebust would it be possible to convert to such a structure:

* The pseudo code
  1. The actual Matlab code
  2. Initialisation 
     1.1 Details

That looks more stable to me.

Thanks and regards

AFAIK, using "-" is hard-coded in org-toggle-item.
Also, 1.1 is not a valid list bullet.

So, you need to implement alternative bullet support yourself.
Patches are welcome!

Best,

I see, several observations.

    1. For headings there is a third party package called
       ‘org-outline-numbering.el’. Which provides a mode that display
       headings in such a numbering scheme, however using overlays, as
       far as I can see.

    2. Headings are much more robust since the use an unique syntax in
       form of *, on the other hand list depend heavily on indentation. So,
       again, third party packages such as
       org-transform-tree-table/toggle transform trees to table and
       back, however if a table contain a list that looses its
       indentation when transforming from a table to tree. That is not
       really a concern for org vanilla but a sign that lists are more
       delicate since the depend on indentation.

FYI, we have a built-in org-num-mode.

Thanks for pointing this out to me, but it does not work for lists only for headings (as its doc string explains), but lists are based on indenting so that seems a lot harder than headings

You are indeed right that org-num only works for headings.

As for lists, there is not as much difference actually, org-list-struct
is anyway parsed once you call something like org-element-at-point. One
can simply traverse the struct to determine that numbering.

Of course, someone™ must take the work and produce a patch for org-num.
