Consider calling =org-back-to-heading= for the following org entry:

#+begin_src org
* Sample entry

Some text.

*************** TODO Inline task
*************** END

Some more text.

->(point)<-

Yet another piece of text.
#+end_src

The expected behaviour is that the point moves to the first line of the
entry.
However, the point moves to the end of the inline task.

Indeed, the wrong behaviour is because =outline-regexp= variable is set
to ="\\*+ "=, which includes inline tasks. 

Best,
Ihor

This is the desired effect. Use the macro `org-with-limited-levels' to
ignore headlines.

Thanks!
Did not know about `org-with-limited-levels'.

After reading the function docstring again, I see that it behaved
correctly.
However, it seems that `org-back-to-heading' is not really used
according to the docstring in the org source code:
- `org-agenda' with subtree restriction: the results are different if
  you call it below or above an inline task.
- `org-attach', `org-attach-dir', `org-attach-tag', with point
  below/above an inline task behave differently
- the following functions from org.el behave depending on the point
  position (below or above an inline task):
  `org-entry-beginning-position', `org-entry-end-position',
  `org-get-heading', `org-get-entry',
  `org-insert-heading-after-current', `org-promote', `org-demote',
  `org-move-subtree-down', etc.
  Some of the functions above give very unexpected results if the point
  is below an inline task.

Would it make sense to add org specific macros to Hacking section of org
manual?
It is sometimes difficult to guess that some of these macros even exist.

Best,
Ihor
