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. I have all this working and it's great. But... This is using outline-minor-mode. Like Giovanni, who started this thread, I'm used to orgmode, which is a little different although it uses outline mode. I tried hacking the code to use orgstruct-mode, which is the minor mode version of orgmode. I got a little figured out, but got lost. I would think all of Tassilo's code to automatically set up outline-regexp would still be valid, but I'm not doing something right. I saw Carsten's message to look at the visibility cycling and understand that, but the keymaps are not working right and the outline-regexp isn't being set right. I've worked around the latter with a quick function I can call from the file buffer. However, I don't know what's going on with the keymap. It looks right. For example, c-h k TAB gives this: runs the command orgstruct-hijacker-command-102, which is an interactive Lisp function. It is bound to . (orgstruct-hijacker-command-102 ARG) In Structure, run `org-cycle'. Outside of structure, run the binding of `[(tab)]' or ` '. However, it doesn't seem to recognize when it's in a structure. M-x org-cycle works as does M-x org-global-cycle. I only need this for emacs-lisp-mode and verilog-mode so I simplified Tassilo's code like this: (when (eq major-mode 'emacs-lisp-mode) (setq outline-regexp ";; [*]+ ")) (when (eq major-mode 'verilog-mode) (setq outline-regexp "\\s-*// [*]+ ")) Help Please!
