Variable: allout-old-style-prefixes

allout-old-style-prefixes is a customizable and buffer-local variable defined in allout.el.gz.

Documentation

When non-nil, use only old-and-crusty outline-mode * topic prefixes.

Non-nil restricts the topic creation and modification functions to asterix-padded prefixes, so they look exactly like the original Emacs-outline style prefixes.

Whatever the setting of this variable, both old and new style prefixes are always respected by the topic maneuvering functions.
