Say you have the following document: """ * Level 1
Text here ** Level 1.1 Text here * Level 2 Text here """ Then the structure of Imenu will be: Level 1 / Level 1.1 Level 2 Thus I'm unable to jump to Level 1, because Imenu will require to specify the sublevel. Moreover, this doesn't play well with which-function-mode: it will just show "???" for the region between Level 1 and Level 1.1 headers. Usually, other modes have an Imenu structure like: Level 1 / *text* Level 1.1 Level 2 So that you can select *text* and jump to Level 1. In this case, which-function-mode will show "Level 1" at the modeline, as expected.
