rather well and deserves a mention.

Expanding a bit on Carsten's post: Tassilo Horn wrote some convenience
functions to set the outline minor mode regexps to correspond to the
current comment syntax.  Thus, if I'm (for instance) in shell-script
mode, # * and # ** become the outline level 1 and 2 markers.

This is great info! I was just looking for this in the last couple of 
days and appreciate everyone's code since it's way beyond my elisp 
abilities.
I like this a lot more than the folding.el I had been using since I 
already use orgmode.  However, I've got a question:

I'm using this with verilog-mode which uses "// " to start comments.  
The problem is that when I indent my file, the comments indent too and 
it seems that output-minor-mode (and, I assume, orgmode) only recognize 
headings that start in column 0.  How/where can I change this so it will 
recognize any line that is whitepace followed by the comment-start?

Thanks!
