Is there a way to do what I am trying to effect? This should be fixed in master now. Could you confirm this? Thanks for reporting the problem. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou Thanks for your attention to this, Nicholas. The situation is improved, though not entirely fixed. However, the problem may well be on my end. I tried a few settings and wasn't able to get quite the expected behaviour; I may simply not understand the required syntax for org-list-demote-modify-bullet. I should also mention that I am a coward and thus don't live on the bleeding edge. After cloning the git repo and setting up a temporary .emacs pointing for org mode to the master branch, M-x org-version reports: Org-mode version 7.8.09 (release_7.8.09.236.gdbc6f) This seems to me to confirm I have the HEAD of master as of an hour or so ago, but it is best if more competent eyes verify this. My minimal .emacs: ; /home/brian/code/foreign/org-mode is where my git clone lives (setq load-path (cons /home/brian/code/foreign/org-mode/lisp load-path)) (setq load-path (cons /home/brian/code/foreign/org-mode/contrib/lisp load-path)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.org\\' . org-mode)) (global-set-key \C-cl 'org-store-link) (global-set-key \C-cc 'org-capture) (global-set-key \C-ca 'org-agenda) (global-set-key \C-cb 'org-iswitchb) (setq org-directory /home/brian/docs/org) (setq org-default-notes-file ~/docs/org/inbox.org) (setq org-alphabetical-lists t) ; In the comments below, n and A stand for ; arbitrary number and alpha characters in bullets (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet ; '((+ . -) (- . +) (1. . A.) (A. 1.) ) ; Works demoting n. -- A.; fails A. -- n. with ; Wrong type argument: stringp, (1.) '((+ . -) (- . +) (1. . A.) (A 1) ) ; Works for n. -- A. However, A. -- A. ; '((+ . -) (- . +) (1 . A) (A 1) ) ; n. -- n. rather than to A. ) I used a simple org file containing only: - foo + bar - baz 1. spam A. ham B. eggs for my tests. With the version of org-list-demote-modify-bullet active above, demoting B. eggs yields A. eggs one level indented whereas what is desired is 1. eggs. As noted in the comments, the earlier commented version yields a Wrong type argument error and the item B. eggs remains in place, unchanged. Thanks for the (at least) partial progress. Is the rest my error? If so, what setting ought I to use? Best, Brian vdB

I tried a few settings and wasn't able to get quite the expected behaviour; I may simply not understand the required syntax for org-list-demote-modify-bullet. Gah! It *was* operator error. I must have read it through 10 times before sending. Just as the gmail Undo window closed, I saw it. I was missing the '.' seperating the bullets. I had '((+ . -) (- . +) (1. . A.) (A. 1.) ) when I needed '((+ . -) (- . +) (1. . A.) (A. . 1.) ) Sorry for the noise and thanks for the fix! Sheepishly, Brian vdB
[O] org-list-demote-modify-bullet and alphabetic/numerical bullets
Hi all, I have (setq org-alphabetical-lists t) in my .emacs. I am trying to set org-list-demote-modify-bullet to cycle on demoting between bullets of the form -/+ and 1./A. (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet '((+ . -) (- . +) )) accomplishes the -/+ cycling just fine. (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet '((+ . -) (- . +) (1. . A.) (A. . 1.))) has, however, no effect on numerical nor alphabetic bullets, nor do either of (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet '((+ . -) (- . +) (1. . -) )) and (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet '((+ . -) (- . +) (1 . -) )) affect numerical bullets, so I doubt that it is that alphabetical bullets are the problem. Is there a way to do what I am trying to effect? Thanks and best, Brian vdB
