Subject: Request: Slightly different structure mode

Hi,
beside of the organising part I use org-mode as a lab-notebook for every 
"project" which involves more thinking and esp. remembering about it.

For that I create a new org-mode file for every project, linked to a 
main-file and I add all this links, infos, mails, deadlines, folder, 
files, data, and all other pieces of infos which I need to access or 
remember when I continue to work on this project (which might be weeks 
or months later). This works really great with org-mode and it help me 
to come quickly inside a particular project even after long time of 
non-processing.

I noticed that I prefer to create outlines like this (stupid example)

+----------------------start----------------------------------+
* Learn org-mode
   I start to read carefully the manual again. Esp. tables are still 
difficult to use for me.
** Just to remember the most important table commands
    Here I will write down all the table stuff commands a long long long 
text and maybe some tables.

  This text should belong again to outline 1. I just like to continue 
writing since I just write in a chronological order. I read the manual 
again and found some nice features I wasn't aware of ..more text.. .
+--------------------stop-------------------------------------+

Thus if I cylcle threw them I like to get the following:

+----------------------start----------------------------------+
* Learn org-mode
   I start to read carefully the manual again. Esp. tables are still 
difficult to use for me.
** Just to remember the most important table commands
   This text should belong again to outline 1. I just like to continue 
writing since I just write in a chronological order. I read the manual 
again and found some nice features I wasn't aware of ..more text.. .
+--------------------stop-------------------------------------+

Thus the last paragraph should belong to the first outline and only 
collapse if with the first outline. At the moment it belongs always to 
the last (in this case second outline) and collapsing result in:

+----------------------start----------------------------------+

* Learn org-mode

difficult to use for me.
** Just to remember the most important table commands
+--------------------stop-------------------------------------+

So I like to use the outline levels more as a measure of importance or 
of detail. I write a generic text of how the project is going on, most 
likely just adding every day a little bit text like in a diary. If there 
is something very special or very detailed I like to encapsulate it in a 
outline and only open it up if I need to read again about it. Thus, it 
will not distract me by reading fast threw the main file and it is 
available if needed.

Any idea how to achieve that ?


Thanks

Torsten
