Long story short: folding a headline works by adding a text overlay with the invisible property, and finding the end of the overlay works by finding another headline of the same level. So there is no nothing of "jumping" by N subtrees. Still, you can fetch the number of invisible headline in a folded subtree *afterwards* -- I assumed this is what François' code does. > In any case, I'd try and adapt the code to display a number > indicating (1) position in the hierarchy; and (2) number of > headlines at that / those position(s). This could end up in a minor mode or simply a feature that people could turn on and off. But beware of the efficiency: with many headlines, the folding features of Org combined with this feature could become quite slow. > Apologies if the original message was poorly articulated. No problem, that's part of the game. Thanks, -- Bastien
