Subject: headings when using sh-mode
Date: Sat,  3 Jul 2021 02:19:25 +0200 (CEST)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Have been reviewing some functionality in a bash script that I use with my .bashrc.



I enabled `outline-minor-mode` and found that by default `sh-script` uses `*`, `**`, `***`

as headings.  Because the headings are not part of comments, my bash script breaks 

if I use headings in this way.  Headings normally start with the comment character.



Also realised that the same colour is used for all heading levels, making it difficult to

individualise the level structure.  The colours seem to change by mode, whereas it would

be more appreciated if outline-minor-mode utilises tho same set of heading level colouring

in all modes.

`sh-mode' has no support for outlining, so `outline-minor-mode' just
uses the default values for `outline-regexp'.  So I guess this is a
wishlist item for adding support for outlining in `sh-mode'?

Does anybody have a suggestion for what that should be in `sh-mode', or
whether this doesn't really make sense for `sh-mode'?

I have been using 



# h1

# h2

# h3



This is similar to defining headers in html without ending up using long repeating symbols 

such as `#####` or `*******`.  The number at the end defines the headline level.

After thinking a bit more about this, it would be better to use two ## at the beginning for headings,

such that single # is for normal headings.


## h1

## h2

## h3
