More concise and easier to read... You're absolutely right on the clarity level.

It still occupies its place. I used `only' so that the text would be dropped, as (in my practice example, not in this ECM) there is not enough space for showing the 3 bullets at the same time. I've tried the above within multiple different themes (Antibes, Bergen, Madrid, ...) but that does not change anything: the space of the 1^st bullet is still there, not reusable for the last 2 bullets. Is this due to some configurable parameter? Is there a way to make the above Org writing behave as `only' (versus `uncover')? Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
