I don't know if there is a way, but the implementation did not work with nested lists. > I have almost a decade of org files > that use description lists, Note that the removal does not break existing documents. > and it really helps have the description > items called out from the description text. The Org manual contains many descriptions lists. For short descriptions, - XXX XXX XXX :: aaaa aaaa aaa aaaaa aaaaa For longer descriptions, - XXXXX XXX XXX :: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. It doesn't look so bad, IMO. And it is very stable. > Is there a simple way to add this functionality back in? Perhaps as > some sort of variable like > `org-use-fancy-description-list-indentation` instead of throwing it > out entirely? It's not just about introducing a variable. It is about fixing indentation with description lists containing sub-lists. You can try, if you want to. It may be tricky though: at first glance, the previous implementation worked, but it actually didn't. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
