But C-* does the trick. Thanks for alerting me to this. I had been using C-c - and then something like C-u - 5 C-x TAB to get rid of the white space to create 1st level headings. C-* looks to be much more efficient! There's always something new to learn about org-mode! I updated the FAQ accordingly. (The new explanation should show up in an hour and a half.) http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#convert-plain-lists-to-headlines Regards, Matt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

But I also discovered a couple of bugs: If I select a region containing a plain list and then type C-*, org mode adds the leading stars but doesn't remove the plain list symbols, for example, this: * headline - list 1 - list 2 is converted to this: * headline *** - list 1 *** - list 2 Also, if I'm at the end of a file so that the region can't be extended beyond the end of the last item in the list, then that item isn't converted. In other words, I get this: * headline *** - list 1 - list 2 Thanks, Scott ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

When using C-* on a single headline, the plain list bullet is removed. When using C-* on a region of headlines, the plain list bullets remain. - Matt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

In the previous posts and subject line, "C-*" should be "C-c *". Best, Matt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

C-c - This command turns headings or normal lines into items, or items into normal lines. When there is a region, everything depends on the first line of the region: - if it is a item, turn all items in the region into normal lines. - if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region into items. - if it is a normal line, turn all lines into items. - special case: if there is no active region and the current line is an item, cycle the bullet type of the current list. C-c * This command turns items and normal lines into headings, or headings into normal lines. When there is a region, everything depends on the first line of the region: - if it is a item, turn all items in the region into headlines. - if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region into normal lines. - if it is a normal line, turn all lines into headlines. I hope these commands a now more consistent and better. - Carsten On Dec 29, 2008, at 8:57 PM, Scott Otterson wrote: > I just discovered the very handy C-* function -- I've been > converting lists to headlines manually!

Not only is this a bug fix, it's a nice improvement that increases consistency with other org operations. I think it's fine touches like this that make org mode so intuitive.
