It was the posting by Nathan Neff which I am sure that I = totally misinterpret, but used as an excuse for my blurb. :-)

What does "this announcement" refer to, Dov?

this again reminded me of something I've been thinking off when using o= rgmode. And that is the use of unicode characters. With the latest versions= of emacs that support unicode and with rich fonts such as DejaVu Monospace= , it is as easy to use unicode characters as ascii. What I was thinking of = is that the current ascii graphics of e.g. tables could automatically be sw= itched to box drawing characters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-d= rawing_characters) when pressing C-c or Tab. Other characters that coul= d be used are automatic replacement of leading asterisks to various bullets= . Each indentation level could be given a different bullets. E.g. "*&q= uot;=3D=3D=E2=96=B8, "**"=3D=3D=E2=97=8F, etc. I'm sure that = arrows and various brackets may also be useful for various contexts.

Of course the use of these characters would be configurable and would be tu= rned off automatically for buffers that are not UTF-8 encoded.

Perhaps I'll one day learn the inner workings of org-mode sufficiently = to do this myself, but if there is someone who meanwhile wants to pick up t= he idea, you're welcome!

Regards,
Dov
