What I frequently find happening is that while I'm editing a heading, I have a need for a subtopic. Easy: C-, Tab. Now I want to keep editing at the same level that I was, but I don't want to introduce another topic (or a "Stuff, cont'd", etc) I just want to keep typing at the same context level. Ideally, I'd like to just use curly braces to delimit section boundaries. So something like this: -------------- * Top This part of top * A sub heading { stuff in sub all this gets collapsed under 'A sub heading' } More stuff that's part of top. --------------- Right now, when I hit TAB on 'A sub heading', it'll collapse all the rest of the text, as it should. How can I teach it just collapse up to the right brace? Or any other suggestion for getting this fact - I realize this is starting to look more like XML than an outline - but would really like to get this behavior without having to leave orgmode. Any pointers, suggestions - much appreciated! -bertie
