Hi all,
I have (setq org-alphabetical-lists t) in my .emacs. I am trying to
set org-list-demote-modify-bullet to cycle on demoting between bullets
of the form -/+ and 1./A.
(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
'(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ))
accomplishes the -/+ cycling just fine.
(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
'(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1." . "A.") ("A." . "1.")))
has, however, no effect on numerical nor alphabetic bullets, nor do either of
(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
'(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1." . "-") ))
and
(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
'(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1" . "-") ))
affect numerical bullets, so I doubt that it is that alphabetical
bullets are the problem.
Is there a way to do what I am trying to effect?
Thanks and best,
Brian vdB

This should be fixed in master now. Could you confirm this?
Thanks for reporting the problem.

Thanks for your attention to this, Nicholas.
The situation is improved, though not entirely fixed. However, the
problem may well be on my end. I tried a few settings and wasn't able
to get quite the expected behaviour; I may simply not understand the
required syntax for org-list-demote-modify-bullet.
I should also mention that I am a coward and thus don't live on the
bleeding edge. After cloning the git repo and setting up a temporary
.emacs pointing for org mode to the master branch,
M-x org-version reports:
Org-mode version 7.8.09 (release_7.8.09.236.gdbc6f)
This seems to me to confirm I have the HEAD of master as of an hour or
so ago, but it is best if more competent eyes verify this.
My minimal .emacs:
; /home/brian/code/foreign/org-mode is where my git clone lives
(setq load-path (cons "/home/brian/code/foreign/org-mode/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "/home/brian/code/foreign/org-mode/contrib/lisp"
load-path))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(setq org-directory "/home/brian/docs/org")
(setq org-default-notes-file "~/docs/org/inbox.org")
(setq org-alphabetical-lists t)
; In the comments below, "n" and "A" stand for
; arbitrary number and alpha characters in bullets
(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
; '(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1." . "A.") ("A." "1.") )
; Works demoting n. --> A.; fails A. --> n. with
; Wrong type argument: stringp, ("1.")
'(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1." . "A.") ("A" "1") )
; Works for n. --> A. However, A. --> A.
; '(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1" . "A") ("A" "1") )
; n. --> n. rather than to A.
)
I used a simple org file containing only:
- foo
+ bar
- baz
1. spam
A. ham
B. eggs
for my tests. With the version of org-list-demote-modify-bullet active
above, demoting "B. eggs" yields "A. eggs" one level indented whereas
what is desired is "1. eggs". As noted in the comments, the earlier
commented version yields a Wrong type argument error and the item "B.
eggs" remains in place, unchanged.
Thanks for the (at least) partial progress. Is the rest my error? If
so, what setting ought I to use?
Best,
Brian vdB

Gah! It *was* operator error. I must have read it through 10 times
before sending. Just as the gmail "Undo" window closed, I saw it.
I was missing the '.' seperating the bullets. I had
'(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1." . "A.") ("A." "1.") )
when I needed
'(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("1." . "A.") ("A." . "1.") )
Sorry for the noise and thanks for the fix!
Sheepishly,
Brian vdB
