outline-regexp and font locking

outline-regexp and font locking

[Aarre Laakso]

Hello,

In order to edit AsciiDoc files using Org, I have the following line
in my .emacs (XEmacs 21.4.21):

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq outline-regexp "=+")))

This does let me use Org outlining commands (e.g., tab to
collapse/show headings). However, it turns off the pretty font-locking
of the headings that I get with the default outline-regexp in
org-mode.

Could someone tell me how to change outline-regexp for org-mode AND
still get full org-mode font-locking?

Thank you,
Aarre Laakso

Hi Aare


In Org-mode, the outline starter is hard-coded to be "*", so you  
cannot without problems change the outline regexp.

What you can to is use outline-mode to edit your file, change the  
outline regexp for that, and then use tricks like listed here

    http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#1.3

to get some of Org's functionality into that mode.
