Re: headings for texinfo-mode using outline-minor-mode

[pietru]

Will need to figure out how to get set outline-heading-alist to work with a new
set of headings.  I am missing something.

This is what I tried, but would need some more assistance to see what else I 
have to do.

(defvar gilgamesh-texinfo-hdlevels
      '( ("@chapter" . 2)
         ("@section" . 3)
         ("@subsection" . 4)
         ("@subsubsection" . 5)
         ;; --------------------------------------------------
         ("@unnumbered" . 2)
         ("@unnumberedsec" . 3)
         ("@unnumberedsubsec" . 4)
         ("@unnumberedsubsubsec" . 5)
         ;; --------------------------------------------------
         ("@appendix" . 2)
         ("@appendixsec" . 3)
         ("@appendixsubsec" . 4)
         ("@appendixsubsubsec" . 5)
         ;; --------------------------------------------------
         ("majorheading" 2)
         ;; --------------------------------------------------
         ("chapheading" 2)
         ("heading" 3)
         ("subheading" 4)
         ("subsubheading" 5)
         ;; --------------------------------------------------
         ("@uchap" . 2)
         ("@usec" . 3)
         ("@usubsec" . 4)
         ("@usubsubsec" . 5) ))

(setq-local outline-heading-alist
            (mapcar (lambda (x) (cons (concat "@" (car x)) (cadr x)))
                    gilgamesh-texinfo-hdlevels))

;;(defun gilgamesh-faddeev-texinfo ()
;;   "todo"
;;   (add-hook 'texinfo-mode-hook #'gilgamesh-texinfo-hdlevels) )
