> Hi,     The command I can find in the manual to show the syntax tree is
(org-element-parse-buffer). However, when the structure is output to the
buffer, by using the commands C-u M-: (org-element-parse-buffer), it seems
that only the part up to a certain depth is printed. 

Yes, as Nick explained there are variables that control this.

My eyes sometimes like this approach to viewing lisp objects:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(pp-to-string (org-element-parse-buffer))
#+END_SRC

HTH,
