Re: [Orgmode] suggestion: display of #+TITLE
Hi Dan, I think the patch is almost good. I do like the larger face for the title, and I know that some themes also use larger faces for headlines. But I think we at least need a variable governing if the keyword will be made invisible or not. If you type #+email:, for example, that string does disappear without a trace, and that is very confusing. In fact, my preference would be to not make the keyword invisible.

Currently it is easy for the title to get buried among more technical configuration lines like #+options, #+startup, #+seq_toto etc. One can take the approach of leaving #+title at the top of the document, and moving the other config lines elesewhere, but even so I am wondering whether anyone else is attracted by the idea of providing an org- title display property that would hide the #+title: component, and use an appropriate face for the title text. In some ways, the current state gives the impression that the title is something which becomes important during export, but is not really a key component of document when it is being viewed in emacs. For example, I expect others are familiar with the experience of exporting an org file without a title, finding that the first heading has been used as a title, and then going back to add in the title as an afterthought. But a title is an important part of a document, and I thought perhaps a special title display would help to make the title more of a first class citizen in org buffers? Hi Dan, I agree. Maybe he same should be true for DATE and AUTHOR, maybe EMAIL? Would you like to make a patch for this, introducing a new face and applying it to these constructs? I've made a proposed patch (below). This involved making a few decisions about appearance -- it would be great to get other peoples' views and alternative proposals. At the risk of stating the obvious, I think we should ask the question What might attract new users to org-mode most?, rather than query our personal preferences (because we can all change it ourselves or fire off an email to this list asking how). Here's my main proposal (corresponding to the patch below). Note that in the first 4 lines the #+TITLE: and #+AUTHOR: etc bits are still there, but invisible. [I've also put the screenshots at http://www.princeton.edu/~ddavison/org-faces/ ] [Default-MidnightBlue.png] Default-MidnightBlue.png The main issue then is that I'm suggesting making the title face larger than the other faces. This would be the only large face in org-mode, but I thought that it was appropriate for the title. Here's a version without the large title face: [Default-MidnightBlue-NoBigTitle.png] Default-MidnightBlue-NoBigTitle.png As for the colours, here's an alternative: [Default-DarkSlateGrey.png] Default-DarkSlateGrey.png The important thing is the default emacs colour theme shown above, but I did pick a colour for dark backgrounds. For what it's worth, here is what it looks like with (the excellent) color-theme-charcoal-black: [CharcoalBlack-SteelBlue.png] CharcoalBlack-SteelBlue.png Here's the patch. If anyone wants to play around, it's pretty obvious in the patch below where to change the colours (and boldness and height). Don't forget the functions list-colors-display and list-faces-display. There's at least one issue with the patch: if you leave a space between e.g. '#+TITLE:' and the start of the title text, then that space will not be made invisible and so will appear at the start of the title. I couldn't see how to avoid that without altering one of the key font- lock regexps.

Re: [Orgmode] suggestion: display of #+TITLE
Or what about---in the spirit of the 'hidden' outline stars---the option to set #+TITLE: and friends in a 'barely visible' color, and in the 'standard' font of the document, if that's possible. As sexy as it is, really hiding the markup is a fair break from most (all?) of 'standard' org mode, where what you see is what you got.Even the invisible starts are there when you cursor over them. Just my 2p. Scot On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 2:52 PM, Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Dan, I think the patch is almost good. I do like the larger face for the title, and I know that some themes also use larger faces for headlines. But I think we at least need a variable governing if the keyword will be made invisible or not. If you type #+email:, for example, that string does disappear without a trace, and that is very confusing. In fact, my preference would be to not make the keyword invisible.
