What I am looking forward to is
1) not modifying the true "bullet" in the raw text, it will always be
"-" I just want the appearance to look "nicer"
2) having a bullet appearance level depth specific, e.g.
▪ this is first level of a list
▪ still first level
➤ this is the second level
➤ this is again the second level
• a third level
➤ yet another second level
which means that de facto a specific bullet appearance would be
associated to a specifc list level depth, e.g. • is 3, ▪ is 1 (I assume
index begins at 1 ?)
Built like this, putting this list into the first level of another one
would shift all levels depth by +1 and consequently change the
appearance.
Currently, appearance is changed by :
(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
'(("^ *\\([-]\\) "
(0 (prog1
()
(setq bullet "•")
(compose-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end
1) bullet))))))
The key point is the regexp. I do not know if it is possible to capture
the depth level with a regexp. That is why I tried to use
org-list--depth in :
(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
'(("^ *\\([-]\\) "
(0 (let* ((depth (org-list--depth
(org-element-at-point)))
(bullet (cond ((= depth 1) "•")
((= depth 2) "▸")
(t "-"))))
(prog1 () (compose-region (match-beginning 1)
(match-end 1) bullet)))))))
but it seems that "org-element-at-point" messes things.
