Transform all bullets instead of just the last one for org-indent-mode?

[dakrone]

It would be nice if org-bullets transformed all of the bullets into UTF-8 instead of just the visible one, for instance:

And then, when I copy and paste the block to send to someone, I get a mixture of regular (*) stars and UTF-8 stars in the headlines.

seconded! And thanks, I had no idea why I was getting that weird formatting.

Hello, I am the current maintainer of this package (more accurately, the version available on MELPA). I am not sure what exactly you mean, see here.
Be sure to open a new issue over here here for further discussion.

@integral-dw IIRC there was a conflict with org-indent, but... sry, I haven't been able to use org-bullets since then.

I see. If you're interested, try giving org-superstar a shot. It's still a rather young package, but it seems to work with org-indent. See the README for more.

This seemed like the best place to ask this. I am having a problem with first level bullets. Not headers, but actual bullet point. No matter which symbol I use for bullet points (+ or -) the very first bullet shows the character. The picture explains.

Hello @vcg3rd, I am the current maintainer of org-bullets over at MELPA. Your issue seems very peculiar. What package are you using, exactly? I am asking because org-bullets should have no capabilities to prettify item bullets (at least not my version of it). If you are using org-superstar, consider opening a new Issue there.

All my Emacs issues are peculiar! :-) I don't program, at all, and just use Emacs for org-mode, so it happens a lot. Anyway, I realized I was using the code from a different org-bullets, the one your forked, regarding the syntax of the hook, so I switched. Then I thought it might have been a regex snippet[0] about font-lock-add-keywords I picked up on a blog about beautifying Emacs, so I commented it out.

Then I discovered org-superstar and switched to it, and the problem is gone; however, it may well we gone because I commented out the snippet. At any rate, thanks for your work! And you can close my issue.

[0] My snippet in case it was the issue and including it helps someone searching. I didn't like it anyway because I didn't understand it.

(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
   '(("^ +\\([-*]\\) "
     (0 (prog1 () (compose-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1) "•"))))))

Yeah, the snippet is an incomplete implementation of a feature org-superstar supports (that is, prettifying item bullets on top of title ones), so removing that snippet was a good idea.
