Yeah, much of the code in and around Emacs assumes the user can read,
and often also write, Elisp.

If you find outline-regexp in a docstring and you want to know where
it’s defined and how it’s used, your best bet is to invoke
xref-find-references on it and skim through the code.

If you want to know how to have headings fontified, M-x find-library
RET outline RET, then search for “face”, eventually find a variable
‘outline-font-lock-keywords’ and its use in ‘outline-mode’ but not in
outline-minor-mode (probably because with outline-minor-mode you
already have some fontification by the major mode). Maybe find a way
to add ‘outline-font-lock-keywords’ to the major mode’s
‘font-lock-defaults’, but that definitely requires some programming.
