Hi,

When I'm using orgmode to write out largish documents, I often run into
the outlining problem that it's apparently not possible to continue
text of a higher level outline once subsections have been started. 

A simplified example of such an outline would be:

--- 
* Main headline
  Some thoughts expressed here

** Subheading 1
   More thoughts expressed here
** Subheading 2
   More thoughts expressed here

 I would like to have this text part of 'Main headline', not of
 'Subheading 2'
----

I've looked for documentation or customization options on this, but
haven't found any yet. What I have done so far is turn the subheadings
into lists or surround them by *bold markers*, which helps a little.

The current outlining interrupts my flow of writing too often; it's
getting a nuisance. What are my options, if any, to get the outline
behaviour as above?

Here's a not-so-pretty hack to get what (I guess) you want
------------
* Main headline
** Main headline contents
   Some thoughts expressed here
*** Subheading 1
    More thoughts expressed here
*** Subheading 2
    More thoughts expressed here
** main headline contents1
    Not exactly part of Main headline but of Main headline contentsi
for some i

--------------

The idea basically is to split your heading into a heading proper and
a (series of) contents headlines.
The actual subheadings go 1 level deeper than your original (logical?)
intention.
You could of course in principle apply the same principle recursively
to the (original) sub headlines though in practice I guess you would
only need do that to the large sections.
