Hi Livin,

I have made the change to the manual much shorter, but moved the rest of this into the docstring of the variable.

Thanks!

Scott, Juri,
thank you for your replies.

'org-list-demote-modify-bullet' is exactly what I was missing.

JohnW, BerntH, Carsten,
AFAICT, the manual does not mention it?

Maybe you could suggest a place in the manual where you would have liked to find this information?  Maybe even a patch?

Section "2.7 Plain lists".
That was where I went looking for this information.

Perhaps between
a. the description of 'org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists', and
b. "The following commands act on items when the cursor is in the first line of an item (the line with the bullet or number)"

I can't submit a patch,
but this is what I might have liked to see (the documentation-addition that I might have submitted):

begin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you find that using a different bullet for a sub-list (than that used for the current list-level) improves readability,  customize the variable 'org-list-demote-modify-bullet'. For example, this lisp in your '.emacs'
(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
 (quote (
 ("+" . "-") ; sub-list uses '-' if cu
 ("-" . "+")
 ("*" . "+"))))

would result in such a 2-level list (which uses only '+'):

**** Take 5!
+ Movies
  + Silence of the Lambs
  + My Cousin Vinny
+ Books
  + The Hunt for Red October
  + The Road to Omaha

instead looking like this (using '-' for sub-list)

**** Take 5!
+ Movies
  - Silence of the Lambs
  - My Cousin Vinny
+ Books
  - The Hunt for Red October
  - The Road to Omaha
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
end





Thanks.

- Carsten
