Hello, Bastien writes: > Yes, I think keeping "^***" as a valid regexp is a good idea. In fact, it isn't. "^***" shouldn't match an headline. Not yet actually. If we want such headlines, org-outline-regexp and al. have to be set to something like "\\*+". That would break many things, and outline functions would match unexpected things, like *bold* at column 0. Anyway, here's another attempt to improve headline regexps consistency.
