Just for the sake of completeness, here is another (very) good reason to allow
such a thing: for Beamer, with the sidebar outer theme, which allows you to
see, on every slide, where you are in the TOC (up to 2 levels).
If you have such a TOC:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
1. Intro
2. The meat
1. Why?
2. Why not?
3. Conclusion
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and have frames level beginning at 3, you would have in Org:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Intro
*** Introduction
This is first slide.
* The meat
** Why?
*** Why to do this?
Second slide.
** Why not?
*** Why not to do this?
Third slide.
* Conclusion
*** Conclusion
Last slide.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So, the solutions are:
1. To allow for skipped levels
-> Sidebar is exactly as it should.
2. Not to export skipped levels
-> You need to insert a level-2 for the Introduction and Conclusion
a. Empty title (such as `** ')
-> Empty space in the TOC displayed in the sidebar
-> Bad!
b. Repeat the title of level-1
-> Not nice...
So, allowing for skipped levels seems the only nice way for me. Did you follow
me?
Best regards,
Seb
