Adding custom ordered list "bullet" symbols?

Adding custom ordered list "bullet" symbols?

Would there be a way to add a \rightarrow (or other latex symbols) as an
ordered list "bullet"?

Thanks. Interesting. But not really what I'm after -- unless I'm not using
it right. When I do M-x org-bullets-mode, it wants to replace heading
asterisks with the alternative list

(defcustom org-bullets-bullet-list
  '(;;; Large
    "◉"
    "○"
    "✸"
    "✿"
    ;; ♥ ● ◇ ✚ ✜ ☯ ◆ ♠ ♣ ♦ ☢ ❀ ◆ ◖ ▶
    ;;; Small
    ;; ► • ★ ▸
    )

I wanted something that would give me the ability to add to the existing
ordered list symbols -, +, 1. etc., not totally replace the normal heading
asterisks.

Assuming you are talking about buffer contents, check the variable
org-list-demote-modify-bullet. I doubt you can use latex symbols, but
you should be able to use unicode characters. Untested.

Try

1. one item
2. @@latex:[$\rightarrow$]@@ second item

(untested)

... assuming that OP is talking about latex export.
I assumed he was talking about the org buffer - we'll have to wait
and see who guessed correctly :-)

I put this

(setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
          '(("+" . "-") ("-" . "+") ("*" . "+") ("-" . "8594")))

in my init file, but I'm not seeing it as a choice in customize.

Not sure what you mean: what does customize have to do with this?
What this says, is that if you start with a + bullet, the next
level down will be a - bullet; if you start with a - bullet, the
next level down will be a + bullet; if you start with a * bullet, the
next level down will be a + bullet.

AFAIK, these are taken in LR order, so it will never see the last pair.
And the specification of the unicode character is wrong.
Try

 (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
 '(("-" . "→") ("→" . "↑") ("↑" . "↓")))


(I used insert-char interactively

   C-x 8 RET right arrow RET

to get the right arrow and similarly for the up arrow and the down
arrow).

At least that's what I thought, but it doesn't work as I expected: I get
the right arrow as the bullet in the second level, but if I try M-RET, I
get a - bullet at first level again and I cannot indent it past second
level. I'm probably misunderstanding something.

Indeed.  I read the OP's email too quickly... <blush> And as I was in
the midst of writing a paper, I was very much in a org/LaTeX frame of
mind. :-)
