Emacs org-mode: how to hide the details of plain list items by default

Suppose we have this in org file:

* Shopping
I'm going to buy these items in the grocery;

1. item1
    wow, fantasy
2. item2
    emmmmm

when i <tab> the headline Shopping, it display the details of plain list items.

what i want is below instead:

* Shopping
I'm going to buy these items in the grocery;

1. item1...
2. item2...

I have try add both #+STARTUP: overview and property :VISIBILITY: folded, but neither of them works for me.

Solution

  • (setq org-cycle-include-plain-lists 'integrate) should fix your issue.

    From the docs: If this variable is set to integrate, plain list items will be treated like low-level headlines.
