This has been addressed many times. Given an .el file with comments like:
; section 1
;; subsection 1
aaa
;;; subsubsection 1
e
;;; subsubsection 2
iiiiiii
;; section 2
....
Then it would be useful to use TAB to cycle the state of those headings. There's outline-mode, but orgstruct-mode is directly usable for org users, and thus easier.
However, I find that this procedure didn't work on org-mode 6.09:
1. open that file
2. evaluate (setq org-outline-regexp ";+ ")
3. M-x orgstruct-minor-mode
The TAB key still works only on headers matching "\\*+ ", so I think that I'm changing the wrong regexp, or that orgstruct-mode didn't detect the change.
Could you please add a paragraph in the manual, in the section „The Orgstruct minor mode“, that tells about how could you change the outline regexp in case a mode needs it?
I found no documentation for org-outline-regexp (less than 10 results on many search engines!).
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
you should use outline-minor-mode, and then just call org-cycle while
that mode is active. The FAQ covers this issue
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php
under the question 'Can I get the visibility-cycling features in
outline-mode and outline-minor-mode?'

Hi,
thanks, outline-minor-mode works. And after I set outline-regexp, it felt more like org-mode.
However, it's not based in org-mode; for instance I could not move trees with M-up M-down and do other operations I like from org's outline.
I thought orgstruct-mode would be better. But can orgstruct-mode do what the FAQ explains? From the manual it seems as if it could; therefore I think that it would be useful to explain in the manual (section 2.10) more about orgstruct's shortcomings or alternatives.
Thanks,
Daniel
PS: yes, there's also outline-magic.el (by the way, the link in the FAQ goes to a cyclic „HTTP: Found“ page), but I would still prefer „orgstruct-mode“ over „outline-mode with additions“, since what I want is Org.

Not really. Orgstruct-mode is based on Org, and that really assumes
in many places that outline headings start with stars. So many of the
commands will not simply work by changing the outline-regexp.

I don't thin this will work, outline-magic is your best bet.
