Dividers in File

[David A. Gershman]

In my org file, I have different sections setup.  I'd like to separate
the sections with comment dividers.  For example, I'd like to have:

#####################
# Section 1

* Heading 1
 * Heading 2
* Heading 3

# End Section 1
#####################

#####################
# Section 2

* Heading 1
 * Heading 2
* Heading 3

# End Section 2
#####################

But when I fold stuff, I get:

* Heading 1...
* Heading 3...
* Heading 1...
* Heading 3...

Notice the dividers got folded into the trees.  Any way to prevent this?

Thanks!

Hi David,

Is there any Reason why you don't just make the dividers the first level
of headlines? -- Eric

That's what I'd prefer too. I have customized the headline faces
heavily. An (old) screenshot is here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/code/org-info-js/img/emacs23-org.js.org.png

That seems more readable and less clutter to me. The document is folded
to the outline view - the text inside the sections uses a 'normal'
monospace face :-) - which is the one that column view uses.

If you use different setup files for emacs on X and emacs on console, a
similar setup can be used on a fairly modern OS.



Regards,

  Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

having had a look on the old screenshot I would also like to see how
this looks for my org files. Would you be so kind to share your face
settings?

Thanks,
Rainer

When I need quick dividers for better visibility, I adopt the approach
Eric mentions above. E.g., 

* ----section one------
* Heading one
* Heading two
* ----section two------
* Heading one
* Heading two

I've considered that myself, but I just don't like the look of it.  More
than once I've wished  I could use something like the hline markup and get a
horizontal line that was scoped with the reset of the outline in the
org-buffer and on export.  So something like the following

#################

* foo 1
* foo 2

-----

* bar 1
*** bar 1.1
  -----
* bar 2

-----

* Baz!

################

would display as

################

* foo 1
* foo2

------------------    <= buffer or wrap wide, doesn't fold into foo2

* bar 1
*** bar 1.1
  --------------    <= buffer or wrap wide, doesn't fold into Bar 1.1 but
does fold into Bar 1

* bar 2

------------------    <= buffer or wrap wide, doesn't fold into foo2

* Baz!

################


I'd guess it might not be too hard with the right but I haven't been annoyed
enough to look into it.

It is not too hard to hack this, using org-cycle-hook:

(defun org-cycle-show-hlines (state)
   "Show hlines after visibility changes."
   (let ((re "^-----+$") beg end)
     (save-excursion
       (cond
        ((memq state '(overview contents t))
	(setq beg (point-min) end (point-max)))
        ((memq state '(children folded))
	(setq beg (point) end (org-end-of-subtree t t))))
       (when beg
	(goto-char beg)
	(while (re-search-forward re end t)
	  (outline-flag-region
	   (1- (match-beginning 0))
	   (progn (outline-next-heading) (point))
	   nil))))))

(eval-after-load "org"
   '(add-hook 'org-cycle-hook 'org-cycle-show-hlines 'append))

Re: Re: Dividers in File

[Sebastian Rose]

Hi Rainer,


I simply used the customize interface for this. My current config has
changed a little, but here it is anyway. I feel it's the best to use
inheritance where ever possible, when it comes to faces. As you can see
below, I just have to change the font-family for `org-level-1', to
change it for all the headlines.

By the time I made the screenshot, I used different colors for the
headline levels.

This is in my .emacs:

=> --->8----------------------------->8----------------------------->8---
(custom-set-faces

  ;; ... lots of stuff omitted ...

 '(org-hide ((nil (:foreground "#ffffff"))))
 '(org-latex-and-export-specials ((((class color) (background light)) (:inherit fixed-pitch :foreground "SaddleBrown"))))
 '(org-level-1 ((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light)) (:foreground "gray30" :weight bold :height 170 :family "DejaVu Sans"))))
 '(org-level-2 ((((class color) (min-colors 16) (background light)) (:inherit org-level-1 :height 150))))
 '(org-level-3 ((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light)) (:inherit org-level-1 :height 130))))
 '(org-level-4 ((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light)) (:inherit org-level-1 :height 110))))
 '(org-level-5 ((((class color) (min-colors 16) (background light)) (:inherit org-level-4))))
 '(org-level-6 ((((class color) (min-colors 16) (background light)) (:inherit org-level-4))))
 '(org-level-7 ((((class color) (min-colors 16) (background light)) (:inherit org-level-4))))
 '(org-level-8 ((((class color) (min-colors 16) (background light)) (:inherit org-level-4))))
 '(org-link ((t (:foreground "RoyalBlue" :slant italic :family "DejaVu Serif"))))

  ;; ... lots of stuff omitted ...

)
<= ---8<-----------------------------8<-----------------------------8<---


And I have this here set:

(setq org-odd-levels-only t)



Regards,

  Sebastian
