Re: [O] #+STARTUP: showstars

[Enda]

Otherwise is like in vi, the additional stars (like **, opposed to <SPACE>*) are too noisy, and since I do not want to see them whether it is in org-mode or in vi, etc, so I wondered was there a way to have the file like

* first level heading

 * second level heading

   * third level heading

highlighted like in hidestars except there would be no stars to hide.

Best wishes,

Enda

What do you mean by "otherwise"? Something like fundamental mode? Or
when you cat the file? If the former, all I can suggest is to enable
org-mode in the buffer. If the latter, try exporting to ascii.

In any case, such an option would require major changes to the code, I
believe.  It's unlikely to be implemented.
