use # instead of * to signal different levels of headlines? is it possible?

use # instead of * to signal different levels of headlines? is it possible?

[isaac]

Hello,

As a heavy user of orgmode, I am wondering if it's possible to use # instead 
of * to signal the level of outline in orgmode?

I am guessing maybe there's an easy configuration that we can change the 
character used from "*" to "#"?

if that's the case, then I can just start to use this setup in orgmode to 
write my R code, integrated with outlines - comments (or python code, or ruby 
code)

Thanks!

Isaac

No.  See

Yes. Use outshine.el with outcommented Org-mode headers. Here is an
example:

For editing the property-drawer of the first headline in full Org-mode,
use outorg.el. 

This is how the *outorg-edit-buffer* looks after doing C-u M-# M-#
(outorg-edit-as-org) on the first headline (to convert and edit only the
subtree at point, use M-# M-#):

For headline (1-8) and many many keyword searches in ESS/R use
navi-mode.el, here is the summary of the keyword searches:

,----------------------------------------------
| [KEY] : [SEARCH]

|                         U : environment
`----------------------------------------------

You can combine headline and keyword searches like this:

,------
| C-3 D
`------

shows headlines up to level 3 and R-keywords related to distributions.

This should be fixed now, I associated (ess . R) but it should rather be
(ess-mode . R), now outorg recognizes ESS/R mode and converts code to
R code-blocks instead of example blocks:

,--------------------------------------------------

|          s <- ((n1-1)*s1 + (n2-1)*s2)/(n1+n2-2)
|          tst <- (yb1 - yb2)/sqrt(s*(1/n1 + 1/n2))
|          tst
