\\<outline-mode-map>
                  HOT-SPOT Operation (Not available in Emacs v18.)

Hot-spot operation enables succinct outline operation.  When the
cursor is located on the bullet character of a topic, literal
characters invoke the commands of the corresponding control chars in
the outline-mode keymap.  Thus, 'f' would invoke the command bound to
<outline-command-prefix>-\C-f \(typically 'outline-forward-current-
level').

Thus, by positioning the cursor on a topic bullet, you can do each of
the outline navigation and manipulation commands with a single
keystroke.  Non-literal char do not get this special interpretation,
even on the hot-spot, so you can use them to get off of it, and back
to normal operation.

Note that the command outline-beginning-of-current-entry \(\\[outline-beginning-of-current-entry]\)
will move to the hot-spot when the cursor is already located at the
beginning of the current entry, so you can simply hit \\[outline-beginning-of-current-entry]
twice in a row to get to the hot-spot.

                             Terminology

Topic hierarchy constituents - TOPICS and SUBTOPICS:

TOPIC:  A basic, coherent component of an emacs outline.  It can
        contain other topics, and it can be subsumed by other topics,
CURRENT topic:
        The visible topic most immediately containing the cursor.
DEPTH:  The degree of nesting of a topic, it increases with
        containment.  Also called the
LEVEL:  The same as DEPTH.

ANCESTORS:
        The topics that contain a topic.
PARENT: A topic's immediate ancestor.  It has a depth one less than
        the topic.
OFFSPRING:
        The topics contained by a topic, 
CHILDREN:
        The immediate offspring of a topic.
SIBLINGS:
        Topics having the same parent.
                
Topic text constituents:

HEADER: The first line of a topic, include the topic PREFIX and header
        text. 
PREFIX: The leading text of a topic which which distinguishes it from
        normal text.  It has a strict form, which consists of a
        prefix-lead string, padding, and a bullet.  The bullet may be
        followed by a number, indicating the ordinal number of the
        topic among its siblings, a space, and then the header text.

        The relative length of the PREFIX determines the nesting depth
        of the topic.
PREFIX-LEAD:
        The string at the beginning of a topic prefix, normally a '.'.
        It can be customized by changing the setting of
        'outline-header-prefix' and then reinitializing outline-mode.

        By setting the prefix-lead to the comment-string of a
        programming language, you can embed outline-structuring in
        program code without interfering with the language processing
        of that code.
PREFIX-PADDING:
        Spaces or asterisks which separate the prefix-lead and the
        bullet, according to the depth of the topic.
BULLET: A character at the end of the topic prefix, it must be one of
        the characters listed on 'outline-plain-bullets-string' or
        'outline-distinctive-bullets-string'.  (See the documentation
        for these variables for more details.)  The default choice of
        bullet when generating varies in a cycle with the depth of the
        topic.
ENTRY:  The text contained in a topic before any offspring.
BODY:   Same as ENTRY.


EXPOSURE:
        The state of a topic which determines the on-screen visibility
        of its' offspring and contained text.
CONCEALED:
        Topics and entry text whose display is inhibited.  Contiguous
        units of concealed text is represented by '...' ellipses.
        (Ref the 'selective-display' var.)

        Concealed topics are effectively collapsed within an ancestor.
CLOSED: A topic whose immediate offspring and body-text is concealed.
OPEN:   A topic that is not closed."

  "Generate a topic prefix suitable for optional arg DEPTH, or current
depth if not specified.

All the arguments are optional.

PRIOR-BULLET indicates the bullet of the prefix being changed, or
nil if none.  This bullet may be preserved (other options
notwithstanding) if it is on the outline-distinctive-bullets-string,
for instance.

Second arg NEW indicates that a new topic is being opened after the
topic at point, if non-nil.  Default bullet for new topics, eg, may
be set (contingent to other args) to numbered bullets if previous
sibling is one.  The implication otherwise is that the current topic
is being adjusted - shifted or rebulleted - and we don't consider
bullet or previous sibling.

Third arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless of
the current topics' depth.

Fourth arg SOLICIT non-nil provokes solicitation from the user of a
choice among the valid bullets.  (This overrides other all the
options, including, eg, a distinctive PRIOR-BULLET.)

Fifth arg, NUMBER-CONTROL, matters only if 'outline-numbered-bullet'
is non-nil *and* soliciting was not explicitly invoked.  Then
NUMBER-CONTROL non-nil forces prefix to either numbered or
denumbered format, depending on the value of the sixth arg, INDEX.

\(Note that NUMBER-CONTROL does *not* apply to level 1 topics.  Sorry...)

If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and sixth arg INDEX is non-nil then
the prefix of the topic is forced to be numbered.  Non-nil
NUMBER-CONTROL and nil INDEX forces non-numbered format on the
bullet.  Non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL and non-nil, non-number INDEX means
that the index for the numbered prefix will be derived, by counting
siblings back to start of level.  If INDEX is a number, then that
number is used as the index for the numbered prefix (allowing, eg,
sequential renumbering to not requre this function counting back the
index for each successive sibling)."
;;;_    . Code:
  ;; The options are ordered in likely frequence of use, most common
  ;; highest, least lowest.  Ie, more likely to be doing prefix
  ;; adjustments than soliciting, and yet more than numbering.
  ;; Current prefix is least dominant, but most likely to be commonly
  ;; specified...

Nuances:

- Creation of new topics is with respect to the visible topic
  containing the cursor, regardless of intervening concealed ones.

- New headers are generally created after/before the body of a
  topic.  However, they are created right at cursor location if the
  cursor is on a blank line, even if that breaks the current topic
  body.  This is intentional, to provide a simple means for
  deliberately dividing topic bodies.

- Double spacing of topic lists is preserved.  Also, the first
  level two topic is created double-spaced (and so would be
  subsequent siblings, if that's left intact).  Otherwise,
  single-spacing is used.

- Creation of sibling or nested topics is with respect to the topic
  you're starting from, even when creating backwards.  This way you
  can easily create a sibling in front of the current topic without
  having to go to its preceeding sibling, and then open forward
  from there."

  "Adjust bullet of current topic prefix.

All args are optional.

If SOLICIT is non-nil then the choice of bullet is solicited from
user.  Otherwise the distinctiveness of the bullet or the topic
depth determines it.

Second arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless
of the topics current depth.

Third arg NUMBER-CONTROL can force the prefix to or away from
numbered form.  It has effect only if 'outline-numbered-bullet' is
non-nil and soliciting was not explicitly invoked (via first arg).
Its effect, numbering or denumbering, then depends on the setting
of the forth arg, INDEX.

If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and forth arg INDEX is nil, then the
prefix of the topic is forced to be non-numbered.  Null index and
non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL forces denumbering.  Non-nil INDEX (and
non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL) forces a numbered-prefix form.  If non-nil
INDEX is a number, then that number is used for the numbered
prefix.  Non-nil and non-number means that the index for the
numbered prefix will be derived by outline-make-topic-prefix.

Fifth arg DO-SUCCESSORS t means re-resolve count on succeeding
siblings.

Cf vars 'outline-stylish-prefixes', 'outline-old-style-prefixes',
and 'outline-numbered-bullet', which all affect the behavior of
this function."

  "Dictate wholesale exposure scheme for current level.

Unless you want the args to be evaluated, you probably want to use the
frontend `outline-new-exposure', instead.

Cursor is left at start position.

SPEC is either a number or, recursively, a list.

A simple spec \(either a number, one of a few symbols, or the null
list) dictates the overall exposure for the current topic.

Non null lists are complex specs, designating exposure for the current
topic and its respective siblings.  The ':' repeat spec is used to
specify exposure for any number of successive siblings, up to the
trailing ones for which there are explicit specs following the ':'.

Simple (numeric and null-list) specs are interpreted as follows:

 - Numbers indicate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic.
    - negative numbers force the topic to be closed before opening to the
      absolute value of the number, so all siblings are open only to
      that level.
    - positive numbers open to the relative depth indicated by the
      number, but do not force already opened subtopics to be closed.
    - 0 means to close topic - hide all offspring.
 - ':' 'repeat'
       apply prior element to all siblings at current level, *up to*
       those siblings that would be covered by specs following the ':'
       on the list.  Ie, apply to all topics at level but the last
       ones.  \(Only first of multiple colons at same level is
       respected - subsequent ones are discarded.)
 - '*' completely opens the topic, including bodies.
 - '+' shows all the sub headers, but not the bodies
 - '-' exposes the body and immediate offspring of the corresponding topic.

If the spec is a list, the first element must be a number, which
dictates the exposure depth of the topic as a whole.  Subsequent
elements of the list are nested SPECs, dictating the specific exposure
for the corresponding offspring of the topic.

Examples:
\(outline-expose-topic '(-1 : 0))
        Close this and all following topics at current level, exposing
        only their immediate children, but close down the last topic
        at this current level completely.
\(outline-expose-topic '(-1 () : 1 0))
        Close current topic so only the immediate subtopics are shown;
        show the children in the second to last topic, and completely
        close the last one.
\(outline-expose-topic -2 ': -1 '*))
        Expose children and grandchildren of all topics at current
        level except the last two; expose children of the second to
        last and completely open the last one."

  "Dictate wholesale exposure scheme for current topic, according to SPEC.

SPEC is either a number or a list.  Optional successive args
dictate exposure for subsequent siblings of current topic.

A simple spec (either a number, a special symbol, or the null list)
dictates the overall exposure for a topic.  Non null lists are
composite specs whose first element dictates the overall exposure for
a topic, with the subsequent elements in the list interpreted as specs
that dictate the exposure for the successive offspring of the topic.

Simple (numeric and null-list) specs are interpreted as follows:

 - Numbers indicate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic:
  - negative numbers force the topic to be close before opening to the
    absolute value of the number.
  - positive numbers just open to the relative depth indicated by the number.
  - 0 just closes
 - '*' completely opens the topic, including bodies.
 - '+' shows all the sub headers, but not the bodies
 - '-' exposes the body and immediate offspring of the corresponding topic.

If the spec is a list, the first element must be a number, which
dictates the exposure depth of the topic as a whole.  Subsequent
elements of the list are nested SPECs, dictating the specific exposure
for the corresponding offspring of the topic.

Optional FOLLOWER arguments dictate exposure for succeeding siblings."
