Hi Joel, In addition to this, you might want to adjust Bison's NEWS format. Adding one more level of "*" will make it so that it can be navigated via emacs' outline mode. I.e., you can make it so that each "* Changes ..." line is a major heading, and where currently there are bullet items per release, you'd use two asterisks instead of one. And finally, add the -*- outline -*- mode setting on the first line: Bison News -*- outline -*-
