Maybe I'm missing something, but can't you just add asterisks in front
of each line? Maybe with a keyboard macro? Or even a sed script?
There's a reason that org files are plain text.

Hi Nick
well yes i guess :) . but would be cool if this small function was org
aware and thus the asteriks (org header) level would be auto set to the
current sub level.
thx

I realized that the default binding `C-c *` works only on the current line,
not the whole selection (and the same applies to the opposite `C-c -`).
It would be great to have those commands work over a region too.
But in the meanwhile, you can do either of the below:
- Simply select the region and use `query-replace-regexp`.
- Use a combination of keyboard macros and `C-c *`.
- Use `multiple-cursors`.
- Any other multiple editing method you might prefer.

I don't think that's right - at least, when I tried it with a region, it
worked. I just didn't know about it (or, more likely, didn't remember it)
before Christian mentioned it.
The docstring for the function says:
,----
| org-toggle-heading is an interactive Lisp function in
| ‘../org-mode/lisp/org.el’.
|
| (org-toggle-heading &optional NSTARS)
|
| Convert headings to normal text, or items or text to headings.
| If there is no active region, only convert the current line.
`----
Is transient mark mode enabled? I think it's enabled by default
nowadays, but maybe you turned it off?

Thanks Nick, I confirmed later that `C-c *` worked over region for me too.

Mark the region and do `C-c *'?

I know how to do in vim. Select all text and hit I (uppercase i), then
start type.
There is also a way in emacs, but I never tried before:

Christian is correct.
Selecting a region and doing `C-c *` *does* work. Please ignore my earlier
email. I mixed up some command in org that did not work over region with
`C-c *` :)

Mark the region and then: M-% ^ <return> * SPC <return>
The power of org: it's all text (tm)!
