emacs org-mode characters about unorder list


When I read about the manual about emacs org-mode on chapter 2.7, I wondered to know whether list characteres +, -, * have specific/special meanings. If you know, please tell me! For example, the character * means heading, but what about other characters?

Solution

  • +, -, and * are the unordered list characters. * is used for headings, but also for an unordered list item.

    Here is a link to the docs.
