Re: [O] org-mode: Would like to add custom chars as org-list bullets

[Tom Burbage]

I don't think the suggestions made in that thread are going to help in terms of org-mode recognizing a line as being a list item.
What I tried that I did think might work was to customize org-list-full-item-re:

org-list-full-item-re is a variable defined in ‘org-list.el’.
Its value is
"^[     ]*\\(\\(?:[-+*]\\|\\(?:[0-9]+\\|[A-Za-z]\\)[.)]\\)\\(?:[     ]+\\|$\\)\\)\\(?:address@hidden(?:start:\\)?\\([0-9]+\\|[A-Za-z]\\)\\][     ]*\\)?\\(?:\\(\\[[ X-]\\]\\)\\(?:[     ]+\\|$\\)\\)?\\(?:\\(.*\\)[     ]+::\\(?:[     ]+\\|$\\)\\)?"

  This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.

Documentation:
Matches a list item and puts everything into groups:
group 1: bullet
group 2: counter
group 3: checkbox
group 4: description tag

to add '!' and '?' to '-+' in the group 1 _expression_, but that didn't do it. ( [-+*] => [-+!?*] )

Have a look at https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/35626/how-to-make-my-own-org-mode-text-emphasis-work-again.

Which code are you recommending?
