I made a suggestion for a natural org sytax to encompass this functionality here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/41203 Basically, use a termination string consisting of a number of asterisks preceded or followed by a '/' character. E.g. ***/ or /*** . But it seems that no one is working to implement anything like it. It would probably require some major surgery on the way org deals with sections.

Perhaps it will be possible at some point to insert an inline task and have it behave as you desire. Samuel Thanks, Samuel. I did read up on inline tasks, while they have the begin/end structure, they're not really part of the structure of the document. Can you point me to the discussion or thread title about this feature - did a few searches first but couldn't find anything that looked like what I was talking about, probably because I'm not describing it in the right terms. Thanks, -bertie

[O] headings with begin/end markers
Hi - I'm wondering if there's a way to treat a heading more like a block, such that it has begin/end markers that explicitly mark its boundaries. What I frequently find happening is that while I'm editing a heading, I have a need for a subtopic. Easy: C-RET, Tab. Now I want to keep editing at the same level that I was, but I don't want to introduce another topic (or a Stuff, cont'd, etc) I just want to keep typing at the same context level. Ideally, I'd like to just use curly braces to delimit section boundaries. So something like this: -- * Top This part of top * A sub heading { stuff in sub all this gets collapsed under 'A sub heading' } More stuff that's part of top. --- Right now, when I hit TAB on 'A sub heading', it'll collapse all the rest of the text, as it should. How can I teach it just collapse up to the right brace? Or any other suggestion for getting this fact - I realize this is starting to look more like XML than an outline - but would really like to get this behavior without having to leave orgmode. Any pointers, suggestions - much appreciated! -bertie
