org-ellipsis problem

org-ellipsis problem

 Hi all,

Setting org-ellipsis (either via setq or customize) has no effect for me.
Org buffers still show three dots at the end of folded lines instead of the
character I give to org-ellipsis. Even restarting emacs
does not give the intended result.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dan

Maybe show us how you actually do it?  What version of org?  What is
your intended result (just in case)?

I have

  (setq org-ellipsis " ▸")

in my customisation and it works just fine.

Thanks, Eric. It helped to know that it works for someone.

Knowing that, I went into my .emacs file and did some testing.

It turns out that there is some conflict with pp-c-l. These lines:

   (use-package pp-c-l)
   (pretty-control-l-mode 1)

would mess up org-mode's use of org-ellipsis. I don't know why. But
commenting out those two lines solves the problem for me.

Regards,

Dan
