<li>
<p>It would be great to have a menu item for promoting or demoting
a header (that is, subtracting or adding # marks). I find myself
going out to editors that offer more powerful "search and replace
in selection" options to do this. (One can do this with the TOC
pane, but it would be nice to be able to do it with the keyboard
while editing).</p>

<li>
<p>It would be nice to be able to convert headers to lists and
lists to headers with a menu item. I can see how it would be hard
to figure out what the user wanted by way of hierarchical
relationships in the "other" form, but in the presence of the
function I suggested in (1), this could be very simple (I
think)--converting one or more # to a single * for the former and
[spaces]* to a single # for the latter. Promoting and demoting
headers could recreate whatever hierarchical structure the user
wanted. At the moment, the "Toggle list type" command can do part
of the first, but one still has to remove the # marks manually.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The desire for both of the features comes largely from what a
great outlining program MMC is, largely because the TOC relies on
the hierarchical information embedded in headers (but not in
lists). Once I start to fill in my outlines, what had been headers
for navigation purposes may become lists within the text.</p>
<p>Thanks for the great program and for considering my
suggestions.</p></div>Glenn H.tag:support.multimarkdown.com,2013-02-12:Comment/252850912013-02-27T00:47:25Z2013-02-27T00:47:25ZPossibility to promote or demote headers; possibility to convert headers to lists and visa-versa<div><p>You can promote/demote with the shift left/right command and key
shortcut.</p>
<p>I'll have to think about the header<->list idea.</p>
