Subject: Echo heading hierarchy at point
Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2016 17:02:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <18C276A8-6C20-46ED-9450-84E027A21CA0@imperial.ac.uk> (raw)

If I have this structure, with point marked by the "$":

* Heading Level 1
** Heading Level 2
<normal text here>$

Is there a way to have the current place in the outline [Heading Level 1 => Heading Level 2] temporarily echoed in the minibuffer? Also important is that the point shouldn't have to be on the heading title for it to work.

At the moment I am using 'which-function-mode' to accomplish something similar: it displays the current subheading in the mode line. However it relies on Imenu (so it needs to be rescanned when new headings are added). If anybody knows a better way I would be interested in hearing about it.

Cheers,
Charles
