indent + showstars

indent + showstars

[bozongo]

Hi,

I'm just starting with org-mode and so far I like it very much.  I have a 
question though:

I like the indented view, but I also like that the number of stars gives me a 
quick visual indication of the level I'm in.  So I tried setting

#+STARTUP: indent
#+STARTUP: showstars

in order to get the following look

* level 1
   ** level 2
     *** level 3
       **** level 4

However, that does not seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

	bozo

You could turn on org-indent-mode manually using `M-x
org-indent-mode`. Alternatively, you could add an org-mode hook that
turns on org-indent-mode.

I do not know emacs lisp, so I'll leave it to someone else to suggest
how to write the hook.

org-indent-mode forces hiding stars.  But of course that can be  
customized.

in an Org buffer, select from the menu Org->Customize->Browse Org Group

Click plus to open the Group "Org Indent"

And see if there is an option you like.

Cheers

Thanks, that worked! Just for the record and future reference, though: at least 
in my Aquamacs installation, the group was called "Org Structure".
