numbered outlines?

numbered outlines?

[David Rogoff]

Sorry if this is obvious, but I couldn't find anything on it.   
orgmode's use of asterisks for outline levels is fine when I'm working 
on something by myself.  However, if I'm collaborating with other 
people, there's no good way to reference a particular outline entry.  Is 
there a way to get org-mode to use numbering (e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 ) for 
outline levels?  If not, how can you work with other people on an outline?

Thanks,

  David

FYI, I'm running org-mode 6.33x in emacs 23.2.1 Mac/Linux/WinXP

I don't know if it is an ideal solution, but you can export to ASCII
using `C-c C-e a` which will dump an ascii text file with the name
"filename.txt" into the same directory as "filename.org".

Outlines will have numbers in the text file.

HTH,

Thanks - that might do the job.  Native would be best, of course.

AFAIK, org-mode cannot number section headings on the fly.

Are your collaborators working in emacs/org-mode? If not exporting the
outline will normally result in numbered sections. Of course, it would
be a bit harder work collaboratively on the html and then get it back
into org-mode. :)

One way to create fixed, human-readable references for outline headings
is to use the CUSTOM_ID property.

This could be implemented as a little module.  One could just
run through the outline and put overlays on the stars showing the  
numbers.

Looking for a fun little project, anyone? :-)

I'd do it, but I'm a hardware guy and my elisp expertise is really minimal!
