newbie questions about ordered list alignment and line truncation

newbie questions about ordered list alignment and line truncation

[sergio]

Hello.

1) Is it possible to make ordered list right-aligned? (Or why I should
prefer left-aligned ones?)

1.

doesn't work.

2) How to set truncate-lines for org-mode? (Or why I should prefer
default setting)

For normal buffers truncate-lines is nil. This is a default value and it
works. Moreover setq-default affects on normal buffers.
Bug org-mode truncates long lines by default and don't listen
truncate-lines.

I recommend to get used to it because left aligned is much easier for
implementation and I doubt anybody is going to change this...

Well, you can always execute the command =toggle-truncate-lines= upon
creating an org buffer, and you could have this done automatically by
using the appropriate hook (=org-mode-hook= for instance).  However, I
would not recommend you do this as I believe that org-mode uses this
setting on purpose for whatever reason...
