1. Multiple heading demotion
Lets say I start writing down some points maybe with/without some
additional text
* Cat
* Dog
And now I decide to put all these into a superheading 'My Pets'
The only way I know is to enter
* My Pets
before Cat and then demote each subtree -- if there were not two but
ten I'd have to do that 10 times
I tried selecting the whole set that I want to demote and doing M-S-
right
but I get the message
This command is active in special contexts like tables headlines or
timestamps
For this, you can use M-<right> and M-<left>, which promote and demote
headlines. (M-S-<right> demotes the entire subtree.)
Hi Rustom,
have you seen this part of the reply? Matt is correct that what you
are trying (demoting a region of headlines) works with M-right, but
not with M-S-right. The reason for this is that a region might
contain incomplete trees, which would led to a contradiction in which
headlines should be changed.

See this section of the manual a list of commands:

2. Converting heading type
Sometimes one assumes that the points are 'small' and so are entered
as + points. Thus
* Pets
+ Cat
+ Dog
and then at some point it emerges that the +es had better be changed
to headings that is (the requisite number of) *s. Any easy way of
doing that?
C-c - or S-<left>/<right> should do the trick.

Best,
Matt
