Hi all,
I found these two commands. They seem to do the same thing. What is
the difference?
TIA,

This is an example illustrating the difference.
- Have point on the *table* of the following subtree.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* foo
| foo | foo |
| foo | foo |
* bar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
- Use command `org-narrow-to-subtree'. See the effect.
- Use command `widen' to get rid of the restriction.
- Make sure to have point on the table of the subtree again.
- Use command `org-narrow-to-element. See the effect.
- Compare!
HTH,
Marco

Thanks, it did not occur to me that "element" may be something other
than a "subtree"!

These will only do the same thing if your element (where point is) happens to be the sub-tree and nothing else. Try it within a list element in a sub-tree and you should notice a difference in behaviour.

Thanks, I didn't think about this!
