Simple outlining

Simple outlining

[Yang]

Hi, are there any outlining tools for Emacs that support the following
type of outline editing?

 - plugin will auto-insert bullets when i
  manually break a line
 - plugin will auto-hanging-indent when
  the text wraps (and preferably
  maintain filled lines as I edit)
    - hitting tab (or something) will
      indent the outline
    - hitting shift-tab will de-indent
      the outline (instead of needing
      to manually delete the correct
      amount)

I've looked at Outline and Allout but they don't quite provide this. I
tried asking in #emacs but the folks there said they didn't know of
such a tool (I'd be surprised if it doesn't exist). Thanks in advance.

org.el can do those things you ask for and much more. However the key
bindings are different than what you suggested. You just need to
customize yourself.

And before you use org, thing of using planner instead - it has some
great integration with w3m, gnus, etc.
