I understand your use case. But I think in that context Org headings would still be useful (at least they remind us at what level we're). For example, some headings could be used for those parts with a tag :not_a_heading:. I sometimes use something like that, and then I remove those tagged headings on export or convert them to another type of separator, it depends on the case: * Top Some text under “Top” ** A level-2 heading Text under level-2 heading ** Another level-2 heading Text under the second level-2 heading * Some descriptive title :not_a_heading: More text under “Top”
