outline-regexp) using ";; *+ " for elisp code

[Christopher Dimech]

Have tried the following, but the regexp is not taking effect when I call
"Hide body".

In my elisp file I have used

;;; ** alpha-bounds

--------

   (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook #'outline-minor-mode)

   ;; set regularity condition
   (setq rgc ";;; \\*+ ")
   ;;(setq rgc ";;; \\([A-Za-z]\\|[IVXLCDMivxlcdm0-9]+\\) | ")

   (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (set (make-local-variable 'outline-regexp) rgc)))
