Ah, thank you. If I understand correctly, though, once one does that (in an SRC org block, say) one looses the ability to edit the block as org code using org-edit-special (C-c '). > > (1) Say I have have this in my org file (star in 1st column): > > > > * a regular headline: writing org examples > > > > #+BEGIN_SRC org > > ,* a headline only for the example > > ,** a subheadline > > text > > #+END_SRC > > > > Is it the best that one can do to quote some org code?

So, there's no indentation to be inserted. I understand that the indentation is virtual; it is just that I would (ideally) expect for the quoted example to visually look the same as it does in an org buffer. > > Also, if not possible to avoid the escaping commas, I would like to at > > least have them for each line, not only for the headlines.

Escaping rules are explained in (info "(org) > Literal examples"), fourth footnote. OK. I had missed this footnote. I will live with this, but am still surprised by this fact -- the SRC org block looks ugly to me. When we enter [[xx]] (say) the brackets become invisible, so I had assumed that a similar mechanism could exist here; I guess there are advantages to the present situation that I do not see... > > Is this normal?

Thank you very much for the detailed explanations.
