This seems somewhat non-intuitive to me or have I misunderstood something. My impression was that indentation was used to identify continuing elements in a list or paragraph. Even adding more blank lines between that 3rd entry and the sentence doesn't make anydifference. This is not critical by any means! Just a curious behaviour.Yes, this is a shortcoming of list cycling which I cannot fix. Folding a list item will always fold to the next item and not recognize the end ofthe item as given by indentation. If you find it too confusing, turn off `org-cycle-include-plain- lists'.I may just do that as I don't often want to hide list entries actually.I'll do that as well, as I'm always caught when trying to indent correctlya list item... But, indeed, this is a very tiny detail.Well, we could consider changing the defualt value for that variable......I guess it could make sense, yes.BTW, having updated that var for me (right now, in my `.emacs' file), it's OK for properly indenting the first list item, but the others don't move whenTABbing. Any reason?
Yes. You might be sitting in a deeply indented list structure, and changing the indentation of an item that has less indentation than the item above it would change the structure. Mind that this is inherently tricky, and it has to be heuristic. I think there is no really good solution to this in the sense that it would allow you to re-indent an entire buffer using TAB just like with a programming language. Indentation has syntactic meaning in Org. I myself am using promotion/demotion commands to change the indentation of list items, and I have trained myself to make list items as much as possible with M-RET. Best wishes - Carsten
