Hi Harven, I understand your point -- yes, from a purely theoretical point of view, we should be able to use another character than "*" to match headlines, because org-mode is derived from outline-mode.
If you can go through Org's code (or motivate someone to go thru the code for you) and check where the "*" is hardcoded instead of being inherited from outline-mode that would help a lot, because I'm busy with other changes I find more important right now. >> Can't you live with the "*" as the headline character? > > That's a pretty rude answer, I must say. Sorry if that sounded rude, it was not my intention and I asked this sincerely. I'm still interested in your answer btw :) > I don't know a single language (language as e.g. english, russian, > spanish...) that uses * as an headline character. Er... I don't know a single language that depends on Emacs to be spoken. Org does. Best, -- Bastien
