hi all,
is it possible to clone all visible or marked headlines without contents?
Example:
Having these lines:
* header1
- contents
** header11
- contents
* header2
- contents
** header21
- contents
I'd like to have
* header1
- contents
** header11
- contents
* header2
- contents
** header21
- contents
* header1
** header11
* header2
** header21
application:
having written a spec for a job I want to write another
one for a similar subject with headlines as before but changed contents
Thanks for any thought!
Rainer

I think this is handled easily enough with existing org-mode + emacs
facilities
1) Mark the sub-tree (C-c @ is useful)
2) Copy and yank where you need it
3) Mark the new copy (or activate transient mark mode)
4) M-C-% (query-replace-regexp in region) to eliminate all the lines not starting with "*"
A suitable regexp should be "^[^*].*^J" where the ^J (linefeed) is entered by C-q C-j.

Or
S-TAB to fold the org-mode buffer to top level headlines only
Hit C-c C-k on the headlines to expand
Select the region you want to copy (in transient mode)
(the rest of this could be easily made into a function that works on the
selected region above)
M-x narrow-to-region
C-c C-e v SPC to export the visible stuff to another buffer
C-x h C-w to cut it all
C-x 0 to close the export window
M-x widen
Go to where you want to insert it and C-y or C-u C-y to paste
