VISIBILITY property: Is it mixed children and content?

VISIBILITY property: Is it mixed children and content?

Hi

Using :VISIBILITY: in a headline PROPERTIES drawer:

It seems ":visibility: children" shows the headline content and children.

While ":visibility: content" shows just headline's children

Intuitively I'd say it should be the opposite way.

Org mode version 9.8-pre-28b631

Best regards

You misunderstand the meaning. "content" refers to table of contents -
outline of the document.

Here is an example of how we define "content" in Org mode:

(defun org-cycle-content (&optional arg)
  "Show all headlines in the buffer, like a table of contents.
With numerical argument ARG, show content up to level ARG."

We may probably clarify this in the manual.
