                             Terminology

Topic: A basic cohesive component of an emacs outline, which can
       be closed (made hidden), opened (revealed), generated,
       traversed, and shifted as units, using outline-mode functions.
       A topic is composed of a HEADER, a BODY, and SUBTOPICs (see below).

Exposure: Hidden (~closed~) topics are represented by ellipses ('...')
          at the end of the visible SUPERTOPIC which contains them,
          rather than by their actual text.  Hidden topics are still
          susceptible to editing and regular movement functions, they
          just are not displayed normally, effectively collapsed into
          the ellipses which represent them.  Outline mode provides
          the means to selectively expose topics based on their
          NESTING.

          SUBTOPICS of a topic can be hidden and subsequently revealed
          based on their DEPTH relative to the supertopic from which
          the exposure is being done.

          The BODIES of a topic do not generally become visible except
          during exposure of entire subtrees (see documentation for
          '-current-subtree'), or when the entry is explicitly exposed
          with the 'outline-show-entry' function, or (if you have a
          special version of isearch installed) when encountered by
          incremental searches.

          The CURRENT topic is the more recent visible one before or
          including the text cursor.

Header: The initial portion of an outline topic.  It is composed of a
        topic header PREFIX at the beginning of the line, followed by
        text to the end of the EFFECTIVE LINE.

Body: Any subsequent lines of text following a topic header and preceding
      the next one.  This is also referred to as the entry for a topic.

Prefix: The text which distinguishes topic headers from normal text
        lines.  There are two forms, both of which start at the beginning
        of the topic header (EFFECTIVE) line.  The length of the prefix
        represents the DEPTH of the topic.  The fundamental sort begins
        either with solely an asterisk ('*') or else dot ('.') followed
        by zero or more spaces and then an outline BULLET.  [Note - you
        can now designate your own, arbitrary HEADER-LEAD string, by
        setting the variable 'outline-header-prefix'.]  The second form
        is for backwards compatibility with the original emacs outline
        mode, and consists solely of asterisks.  Both sorts are
        recognized by all outline commands.  The first sort is generated
        by outline topic production commands if the emacs variable
        outline-old-style-prefixes is nil, otherwise the second style is
        used.

Bullet: An outline prefix bullet is one of the characters on either
        of the outline bullet string vars, 'outline-plain-bullets-string'
        and 'outline-distinctive-bullets-string'.  (See their
        documentation for more details.)  The default choice of bullet
        for any prefix depends on the DEPTH of the topic.

Depth and Nesting:
       The length of a topic header prefix, from the initial
       character to the bullet (inclusive), represents the depth of
       the topic.  A topic is considered to contain the subsequent
       topics of greater depth up to the next topic of the same
       depth, and the contained topics are recursively considered to
       be nested within all containing topics.  Contained topics are
       called subtopics.  Immediate subtopics are called 'children'.
       Containing topics are supertopicsimmediate supertopics are
       'parents'.  Contained topics of the same depth are called
       siblings.

Effective line: The regular ascii text in which form outlines are
                saved are manipulated in outline-mode to engage emacs'
                selective-display faculty.  The upshot is that the
                effective end of an outline line can be terminated by
                either a normal Unix newline char, \n, or the special
                outline-mode eol, ^M.  This only matters at the user
                level when you're doing searches which key on the end of
                line character."

  "   Generate a topic prefix suitable for optional arg DEPTH, or current
   depth if not specified.

   All the arguments are optional.

   PRIOR-BULLET indicates the bullet of the prefix being changed, or
   nil if none.  This bullet may be preserved (other options
   notwithstanding) if it is on the outline-distinctive-bullets-string,
   for instance.

   Second arg NEW indicates that a new topic is being opened after the
   topic at point, if non-nil.  Default bullet for new topics, eg, may
   be set (contingent to other args) to numbered bullets if previous
   sibling is one.  The implication otherwise is that the current topic
   is being adjusted - shifted or rebulleted - and we don't consider
   bullet or previous sibling.

   Third arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless of
   the current topics' depth.

   Fourth arg SOLICIT non-nil provokes solicitation from the user of a
   choice among the valid bullets.  (This overrides other all the
   options, including, eg, a distinctive PRIOR-BULLET.)

   Fifth arg, NUMBER-CONTROL, matters only if 'outline-numbered-bullet'
   is non-nil *and* soliciting was not explicitly invoked.  Then
   NUMBER-CONTROL non-nil forces prefix to either numbered or
   denumbered format, depending on the value of the sixth arg, INDEX.

   (Note that NUMBER-CONTROL does *not* apply to level 1 topics.  Sorry...)

   If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and sixth arg INDEX is non-nil then
   the prefix of the topic is forced to be numbered.  Non-nil
   NUMBER-CONTROL and nil INDEX forces non-numbered format on the
   bullet.  Non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL and non-nil, non-number INDEX means
   that the index for the numbered prefix will be derived, by counting
   siblings back to start of level.  If INDEX is a number, then that
   number is used as the index for the numbered prefix (allowing, eg,
   sequential renumbering to not require this function counting back the
   index for each successive sibling)."

  ;; The options are ordered in likely frequence of use, most common
  ;; highest, least lowest.  Ie, more likely to be doing prefix
  ;; adjustments than soliciting, and yet more than numbering.
  ;; Current prefix is least dominant, but most likely to be commonly
  ;; specified...

  Nuances:

   - Creation of new topics is with respect to the visible topic
     containing the cursor, regardless of intervening concealed ones.

   - New headers are generally created after/before the body of a
     topic.  However, they are created right at cursor location if the
     cursor is on a blank line, even if that breaks the current topic
     body.  This is intentional, to provide a simple means for
     deliberately dividing topic bodies.

   - Double spacing of topic lists is preserved.  Also, the first
     level two topic is created double-spaced (and so would be
     subsequent siblings, if that's left intact).  Otherwise,
     single-spacing is used.

   - Creation of sibling or nested topics is with respect to the topic
     you're starting from, even when creating backwards.  This way you
     can easily create a sibling in front of the current topic without
     having to go to its preceding sibling, and then open forward
     from there."

  "   Adjust bullet of current topic prefix.

   All args are optional.

   If SOLICIT is non-nil then the choice of bullet is solicited from
   user.  Otherwise the distinctiveness of the bullet or the topic
   depth determines it.

   Second arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless
   of the topic's current depth.

   Third arg NUMBER-CONTROL can force the prefix to or away from
   numbered form.  It has effect only if 'outline-numbered-bullet' is
   non-nil and soliciting was not explicitly invoked (via first arg).
   Its effect, numbering or denumbering, then depends on the setting
   of the forth arg, INDEX.

   If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and forth arg INDEX is nil, then the
   prefix of the topic is forced to be non-numbered.  Null index and
   non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL forces denumbering.  Non-nil INDEX (and
   non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL) forces a numbered-prefix form.  If non-nil
   INDEX is a number, then that number is used for the numbered
   prefix.  Non-nil and non-number means that the index for the
   numbered prefix will be derived by outline-make-topic-prefix.

   Fifth arg DO-SUCCESSORS t means re-resolve count on succeeding
   siblings.

   Cf vars 'outline-stylish-prefixes', 'outline-old-style-prefixes',
   and 'outline-numbered-bullet', which all affect the behavior of
