Re: Promote/demote an Active Region

[Ron Mitchell <ron@ronmitchell.co.uk>]

Nicolas,

Upgraded to org 8.3.4, made no difference.

But I have just now realised what the problem is!   I have been using
org-demote-subtree, not org-demote , Meta-Shift-Right, not Meta-Right.  
And org-demote does indeed work on an active region for me.   I suppose
you could argue that org-demote-subtree ought to do the same, but (a)
there's no need and (b) there might be a question about what is meant by
'subtrees' in a region.

Doh!  Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Ron

I cannot reproduce it. E.g., in the following document, where region
boundaries are marked with |,

  |* H1
  ** H11|
  * H2

using M-Right gives

  ** H1
  *** H11
  * H2
