Thank you, Adam -- I didn't know about those. I had searched for something like that before implementing my own, but I think I searched using the term "heading" or something instead of "outline", unfortunately, so I never found them.
Now that I know about `org-display-outline-path', the one improvement I'd like to make is to enable it to display the headings with per-level indentation, and treat the first level specially (with an anchoring dot instead of a directional arrow), as my code did. It's a lot more readable that way displayed in the minibuffer.
I suppose I would implement this by adding two new optional arguments to `org-display-outline-path':
* `per-level-indentation': add a newline followed by <this string LEVEL-1 times> in front of each SEPARATOR
* `level-1-prefix': a special prefix for the first level's heading
...and make corresponding changes to the helper functions of course. There should also be some way to access the new functionality interactively; the solution might be a new interactive wrapper function with its own name, or maybe some new variables? I don't know; I haven't thought it all the way through yet.
Is there any interest in or opposition to such a patch? I'd like to get a sense of whether it would be able to land in Org Mode before I start working on it.
Best regards,
-Karl
