Oh, I definitely think you should keep the ellipsis if you like them; that was only a suggestion. I'm working without them for a while and it's really not that bad, at least for me. But the idea of using unicode glyphs is nice. Gonna try it.
Now, an update: after playing with the function a little more, I came to a new version. Its behavior is a bit different: it'll only show the synopsis of VISIBLE subtrees. That's useful because now you can use the synopsis view on a sparse tree; before, it would go to Contents view automatically. (So, to replicate the old behavior, you just need to go to Contents view with S-TAB before entering synopsis view). Again, if anyone knows how to improve it, please leave a note. (defun k-synopsis-view () (interactive) (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (while (outline-next-heading) (when (not (org-invisible-p)) (hide-entry) (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point)))) (when (re-search-forward "\\(^[ \t]*:SYNOPSIS:[. \t]*$\\)" end t) (org-flag-drawer nil) (re-search-forward "^[ \t]*:END:[ \t]*" nil t) (outline-flag-region (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0) t) )))) )) 2010/12/12 Eric S Fraga <e.fr...@ucl.ac.uk>: > Cassio Koshikumo <ckoshik...@gmail.com> writes: > > > [...] > >> 3.
