Hi there.
In "2.5 Structure Editing" the org info manual says
"When there is an active region (Transient Mark mode), promotion and
demotion work on all headlines in the region."
That doesn't work for me. Only the line at point is pro- or de- moted.
Is this a bug, or am I not understanding the manual in some way? If it is a
bug, how should I report it?
I'm on org 2.10.0, in emacs 24.5, on Linux Mint Rebecca.
Thanks & regards,
Ron

I don't know wether this is a bug or not. But I know a way that works:
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/5719/how-do-i-demote-promote-selected-subtrees/18216#18216
If you kill the region that you want to promote/demote and then use
org-paste-subtree with the needed number of stars before the paste
target, you get what you want.

I cannot reproduce it. E.g., in the following document, where region
boundaries are marked with |,
|* H1
** H11|
* H2
using M-Right gives
** H1
*** H11
* H2

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks, that's interesting.
When I do Meta-Shift-Right on your example (with, as in yours, the
region set to the first two lines):
* H1
** H11
* H2
I get
* H1
*** H11
* H2
It's not a problem with key binding, because I get the same result if I
execute the command 'org-demote-subtree'.
Regards
Ron

You could update Org and try again. The issue may have been fixed already.

Nicolas,
Upgraded to org 8.3.4, made no difference.
But I have just now realised what the problem is! I have been using
org-demote-subtree, not org-demote , Meta-Shift-Right, not Meta-Right.
And org-demote does indeed work on an active region for me. I suppose
you could argue that org-demote-subtree ought to do the same, but (a)
there's no need and (b) there might be a question about what is meant by
'subtrees' in a region.
Doh! Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ron
