boxquote in plain lists

boxquote in plain lists

[Julien Cubizolles]

I very often use boxquoted text in my org files to insert excerpts of
config files but I have trouble using it in plain lists : the boxquoted
text won't be folded by TAB, you have to manually indent each line of
the boxquote for the folding to work.

Hi, Julien,

I suggest to you to use headlines: 
-+---------------------------
**** boxquoted
,----
| The default style looks like this.
`----
-+----------------------------
and if you press TAB the text will be folded.

But if you insist ;-) to use tab... well....
use headlines :-), 
/then/ convert the headlines in list (selecting the headlines
and pressing C-c - .... and you''ll find a nicely
indented list
-----------------------------
    - boxquoted
      ,----
      | The default style looks like this.
      `----
---------------------------
that can be folded. 

hth, cheers,
Giovanni

I must some options badly configured

This is what I get with headlines, it can indeed be folded
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* boxquoted
,----
| test
`----
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
- boxquoted
,----
| test
`----
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
with no indentation, can't be folded.

Actually, I think you haven't converted the headline
like I said. Did you? How?

I think I did :
* created headline with star
* add boxquoted text
* checked that the headline can be folded
* C-c - on the headline
* headline gets converted to a plain list that can't be folded anymore

Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-632-gd344fd)

C-c @ on the headline
so that the whole text is selected

> * C-c - on the headline
Actually,
C-c - on the selected text: i.e. the first line ( the headline
                                and the whole text below)

> * headline gets converted to a plain list that can't be folded anymore

the whole text, i.e.  headline+text is converted
in an item of a list and indented correctly.

for further information, please, read the manual regarding plain lists.

cheers,
Giovanni

Thanks, I'm not used to C-c @. I guess it's boxquote being at fault
here.
