The "org-ellipsis" variable is specifically marked as (potentially)
a
safe local variable, so obviously someone intended for it possibly
to be
used that, and believed that it might be useful to someone as a
local
variable.
However, there is no setup that I can find which makes this work.
Placing
: # Local Variables:
: # org-ellipsis: "XXX"
: # End:
at the end of the file, or setting it in the top line, makes no
change
in the ellipsis, even if you do M-x org-mode again or reload the
file
(with find-alternate-file). Indeed, M-x org-mode clears the local
value
assignment altogether. Setting it by hand with setq-local doesn't
work
(it is cleared when you do M-x org-mode again anyway, as mentioned.)
So, is org-ellipsis really not meant ever to be a local variable?
If
so, that likely should be documented, and certainly the :safe
annotation
on it should be removed, as it strongly implies that using it as a
local
variable is acceptable and useful.
I ran this with emacs -Q, using using the code from the git
repository,
commit f93020d5e6d7594c335cc129ad02c21ac26ed58a (as you can see by
the
local filepath below.) I hope I have explained the bug clearly
enough.
Thanks
