It was discussed long time ago, here http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/14793/focus=15214 In org-list.el, there is variable org-list-demote-modify-bullet. I have not tried, but it looks similar to your request. Juri --0016e6da7dcfafa103048719bfb2 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

When creating nested/child lists ('i= nnerX' items) under an existing list item ('topX' items),
=
the current behaviour does not make an effort to change the leading=A0= list-denoter=A0character (-,+,*).

Could a feature be provided where creating a such a chi= ld-list would make this list's items begin with a different list-denote= r?

I find it helps readability (and hence efficien= cy when working with lists) when I manually (S-left, S-right) do this. If o= thers agree, perhaps this could be provided as a built-in feature?

I don't know lisp, (& it's increasingly loo= king like it may be time to *find* the time to learn JJ) so I can't cod= e this myself.


There seems to be already a setting that can achieve this.<= /div>
It was discussed long time ago, here
In org-list.el, there is variable org-list-demote-modify-bu= llet. =A0I have not tried,
but it looks similar to your request.<= /div>
