I just saw that #+STARTUP: showstars is the opposite of #+STARTUP: hidestars, #+STARTUP: showlaststar would have been a more appropriate subject header.
org-indent-mode can be activated using #+STARTUP: indent according to http://orgmode.org/manual/Clean-view.html, however in the same page I see that " All headline stars but the last one are made invisible using the org-hide face", however I want there to be no actual stars except the last and then org-mode using the right color for each heading like: * first heading <SPACE>* second heading <SPACE><SPACE>* third heading Best wishes, Enda ________________________________ From: Yagnesh Raghava Yakkala <h...@yagnesh.org> To: Enda <enda...@yahoo.com> Cc: "nicholas.do...@hp.com" <nicholas.do...@hp.com>; "emacs-orgmode@gnu.org" <emacs-orgmode@gnu.org> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 6:52 PM Subject: Re: #+STARTUP: showstars Hello Enda, Enda <enda...@yahoo.com> writes: > Otherwise is like in vi, the additional stars (like **, opposed to > <SPACE>*) are too noisy, and since I do not want to see them whether > it is in org-mode or in vi, etc, so I wondered was there a way to have > the file like > > * first level heading > * second level heading > * third level heading are you looking for org-indent-mode.? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (org-indent-mode 1))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- YYR
