Emacs组织模式：默认情况下如何隐藏枚举列表项描述

Question

Suppose we have this org file:

1. first item
   description of the first item
2. second item
   description of the second item
3. third item
   description of the third item

If I move the cursor to all the top items, and click <tab> , it will hide the descrption. And the file will look like this:

1. first item...
2. second item...
3. third item...

But when I open the file all items are open, which is uncomfortable for me. How can I hide them by default, leaving just dots?

Answer 1

That's strange, for me this is the default behavior to hide everything except the top level. You can either modify it globally via the customize menu : Group org startup -> option org-startup-folded

or for each file like this http://orgmode.org/manual/Initial-visibility.html#Initial-visibility
