So, this is one of those weird moments where I feel really stupid
saying this, but I can imagine others have dealt with this as well.

When I first started using org-mode, I thought you prefixed every line
with some number of *.

Then, I discovered that the *** were headings, and actual items under
those headings were prefixed with '-'.

This is a simple thing, but WOW did it make a huge difference.

* I kept wondering why exports to PDF or HTML looked like crud
* Things like beamer wouldn't render my slides properly

etc etc.

I'm going to go over the documentation and ensure I wasn't just
looking past something, but I wonder if others have had this problem.
