Re: [Orgmode] [Patch] Add another bullet type ( →)

Hi Martin,

thank you for the patch.

I will, however, not install it, at least not in the present form.

Org-mode is hard-core plain text, and for me this also means that
all the control parts that have special meaning should be plain
ASCII characters.  The only exception is that tags are allowed
contain characters specific for other languages.  So I do not
want to hard-code a non-ASCII character in this way.

I would consider a patch which introduces a variable listing
the allowed bullet characters.  If you want to make such a patch,
it will be a non-trivial patch and you would have to sign
over copyright to the FSF so that I can include it.

Sorry for making this so hard....

One thing I would worry about is this:  Org sometimes normalized
all bullets in a list to have the same bullet type.  This would
interfere with your idea of having one special bullet in an
otherwise normal list.  Has this never cause problems in your setup?

- Carsten

Hi All,

I tend to use a right arrow (→, U2192) from time to time in plain
lists to separate normal item from conclusions / next actions etc.:

 - Topic
   - Fact 1
   - Fact 2
   → Conclusion

I would appreciate it if org-mode could support this type of bullet
point.  The attached patch implements what I had in mind.

I'm not sure if the adaptation in /org-cycle-list-bullet/ is useful
for others --- I don't use the arrow for many items in a list, but
only single ones --- But I included it in the patch for completeness.

(Also, there may be better ways to encode unicode chars in regexp than
using the utf-8 encoding, that the patch uses.)

Cheers,
Martin
