bug#48707: outline not distinguishing between levels well enough

[pauline-galea]

outline is supposed to highlight the eight different heading levels in a way 
that
is easy to distinguish between them.  I do not see such a capability at this 
time.

Settings up different colours is also quite complicated and confusing.  I have 
originally
discussed this on "help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org", who encouraged me to send a bug 
report.

I do not get different heading colours for the three heading levels below.
Philip has mentioned the possibility that the wrong face is being applied.

--------- test.el --------

;;; * heading 1
;; comments
;;;; ** subheading 1.1
;; comments
;;;;; *** subsubheading 1.1.1
;; comments

Many Thanks
Paula
