Re: [O] Promote/demote an Active Region

[Ron Mitchell]

Nicolas,

Upgraded to org 8.3.4, made no difference.

But I have just now realised what the problem is!   I have been using
org-demote-subtree, not org-demote , Meta-Shift-Right, not Meta-Right.  
And org-demote does indeed work on an active region for me.   I suppose
you could argue that org-demote-subtree ought to do the same, but (a)
there's no need and (b) there might be a question about what is meant by
'subtrees' in a region.

Doh!  Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Ron

I cannot reproduce it. E.g., in the following document, where region
boundaries are marked with |,

  |* H1
  ** H11|
  * H2

using M-Right gives

  ** H1
  *** H11
  * H2

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks, that's interesting.

When I do Meta-Shift-Right on your example (with, as in yours, the
region set to the first two lines):

* H1
** H11
* H2

I get 

* H1
*** H11
* H2

It's not a problem with key binding, because I get the same result if I
execute the command 'org-demote-subtree'.

Regards

Ron

[O] Promote/demote an Active Region

[Ron Mitchell]

Hi there.  

In "2.5 Structure Editing" the org info manual says

"When there is an active region (Transient Mark mode), promotion and
demotion work on all headlines in the region."

That doesn't work for me. Only the line at point is pro- or de- moted. 

Is this a bug, or am I not understanding the manual in some way?  If it is a
bug, how should I report it?

I'm on org 2.10.0, in emacs 24.5, on Linux Mint Rebecca.

Thanks & regards,

Ron
