Hi - I'm late to this discussion - not sure all the issues on the table - but how about deferring to markdown in such cases. In which case use "#" and "##" for section headers and "Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably — as list markers" Personally, I don't like asterisk ' * ' since they are used by emacs org-mode for headlines (albeit without leading space). ~Malcolm > > Thoughts? > > Thanks, > Ludo’.
