Re: [PATCH] Add option to export mixed Setext and ATX-style Markdown headlines

[Lee Thompson]

Hi Ihor,

> But isn't (setq org-md-headline-style 'setext) do exactly what you describe?
My apologies, I should have included an example. What I'm trying to
achieve is that instead of this: (set to setext)
> One
> ===
>
>
> Two
> ---
>
> 1.  Three
>
>     1.  Four

Or even something like this: (atx assuming #+options: h:4)

# One


## Two


### Three


#### Four


Setting `org-md-headline-style' to `'mixed' would produce the following:
(again assuming #+options: h:4)

One
===


Two
---


### Three


#### Four

Unless I'm doing something wrong or I've been hacking away with older
code I haven't observed this. It may be that I'm getting mixed up in
terminology and what you've demonstrated in your example is indeed
setext falling back to atx, but my understanding is that in your example
the first two headlines are in setext style and the third and
fourth-level headlines have been converted to Markdown lists.

What I am proposing is a style where setext-style underlined headlines
are generated for levels 1 and 2, atx-style repeated hash characters for
levels 3 to 6, and then converted to lists for deeper levels. To
demonstrate:

#+options: toc:nil h:6
* One

** Two
*** Three
**** Four
***** Five
****** Six
******* Seven
******** Eight

Exports to:

One
===


Two
---


### Three


#### Four


##### Five


###### Six

1.  Seven

    1.  Eight


I hope this explains more clearly what I'm trying to achieve, do let me
know if not.
