;;; Commentary:

;; Allout outline minor mode provides extensive outline formatting and
;; and manipulation beyond standard emacs outline mode.  Some features:
;;
;;  - Classic outline-mode topic-oriented navigation and exposure adjustment
;;  - Topic-oriented editing including coherent topic and subtopic
;;    creation, promotion, demotion, cut/paste across depths, etc.
;;  - Incremental search with dynamic exposure and reconcealment of text
;;  - Customizable bullet format -- enables programming-language specific
;;    outlining, for code-folding editing.  (Allout code itself is to try it;
;;    formatted as an outline -- do ESC-x eval-buffer in allout.el; but
;;    emacs local file variables need to be enabled when the
;;    file was visited -- see `enable-local-variables'.)
;;  - Configurable per-file initial exposure settings
;;  - Symmetric-key and key-pair topic encryption, plus symmetric passphrase
;;    mnemonic support, with verification against an established passphrase
;;    (using a stashed encrypted dummy string) and user-supplied hint
;;    maintenance.  Encryption is via the Emacs 'epg' library.  See
;;    allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption docstring.
;;  - Automatic topic-number maintenance
;;  - "Hot-spot" operation, for single-keystroke maneuvering and
;;    exposure control (see the allout-mode docstring)
;;  - Easy rendering of exposed portions into numbered, latex, indented, etc
;;    outline styles
;;  - Careful attention to whitespace -- enabling blank lines between items
;;    and maintenance of hanging indentation (in paragraph auto-fill and
;;    across topic promotion and demotion) of topic bodies consistent with
;;    indentation of their topic header.
;;
;; and more.
;;
;; See the `allout-mode' function's docstring for an introduction to the
;; mode.
;;
;; The latest development version and helpful notes are available at
;; http://myriadicity.net/Sundry/EmacsAllout .
;;
;; The outline menubar additions provide quick reference to many of
;; the features, and see the docstring of the variable `allout-init'
;; for instructions on priming your Emacs session for automatic
;; activation of allout-mode.
;;
;; See the docstring of the variables `allout-layout' and
;; `allout-auto-activation' for details on automatic activation of
;; `allout-mode' as a minor mode.  (It has changed since allout
;; 3.x, for those of you that depend on the old method.)
;;
;; Note -- the lines beginning with `;;;_' are outline topic headers.
;;        Just `ESC-x eval-buffer' to give it a whirl.

This setting specifies the outline exposure to use when

layout specifications.

A list value specifies a default layout for the current buffer,
to be applied upon activation of `allout-mode'.  Any non-nil
value will automatically trigger `allout-mode', provided
`allout-init' has been called to enable this behavior.

The types of elements in the layout specification are:

 INTEGER -- dictate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic(s),
            where:
         -- negative numbers force the topic to be closed before opening
            to the absolute value of the number, so all siblings are open
            only to that level.
         -- positive numbers open to the relative depth indicated by the
            number, but do not force already opened subtopics to be closed.
         -- 0 means to close topic -- hide all subitems.
 :   -- repeat spec -- apply the preceeding element to all siblings at
        current level, *up to* those siblings that would be covered by specs
        following the `:' on the list.  Ie, apply to all topics at level but
        trailing ones accounted for by trailing specs.  (Only the first of
        multiple colons at the same level is honored -- later ones are ignored.)
 *   -- completely exposes the topic, including bodies
 +   -- exposes all subtopics, but not the bodies
 -   -- exposes the body of the corresponding topic, but not subtopics
 LIST -- a nested layout spec, to be applied intricately to its
        corresponding item(s)

Examples:
 (-2 : 0)
	Collapse the top-level topics to show their children and
        grandchildren, but completely collapse the final top-level topic.
 (-1 () : 1 0)
	Close the first topic so only the immediate subtopics are shown,
        leave the subsequent topics exposed as they are until the second
	second to last topic, which is exposed at least one level, and
        completely close the last topic.
 (-2 : -1 *)
        Expose children and grandchildren of all topics at current
	level except the last two; expose children of the second to
	last and completely expose the last one, including its subtopics.

See `allout-expose-topic' for more about the exposure process.

Also, allout's mode-specific provisions will make topic prefixes default
to the comment-start string, if any, of the language of the file.  This
is modulo the setting of `allout-use-mode-specific-leader', which see."

They are not used by default in the topic creation routines, but
are offered as options when you modify topic creation with a
universal argument \(\\[universal-argument]), or during rebulleting \(\\[allout-rebullet-current-heading]).

Distinctive bullets are not cycled when topics are shifted or
otherwise automatically rebulleted, so their marking is
persistent until deliberately changed.  Their significance is
purely by convention, however.  Some conventions suggest
themselves:

 `(' - open paren -- an aside or incidental point
 `?' - question mark -- uncertain or outright question
 `!' - exclamation point/bang -- emphatic
 `[' - open square bracket -- meta-note, about item instead of item's subject
 `\"' - double quote -- a quotation or other citation
 `=' - equal sign -- an assignment, some kind of definition
 `^' - carat -- relates to something above

Some are more elusive, but their rationale may be recognizable:

 `+' - plus -- pending consideration, completion
 `_' - underscore -- done, completed
 `&' - ampersand -- addendum, furthermore

\(Some other non-plain bullets have special meaning to the
software.  By default:

 `~' marks encryptable topics -- see `allout-topic-encryption-bullet'
 `#' marks auto-numbered bullets -- see `allout-numbered-bullet'.)

See `allout-plain-bullets-string' for the standard, alternating
bullets.

adopt changes of this value.

the header-prefix, and an `_' underscore is tacked on the end, to
distinguish them from regular comment strings.  comment-start

The idea is to prevent file-system exposure of any un-encrypted stuff, and
mostly covers both deliberate file writes and auto-saves.

 - Yes: encrypt all topics pending encryption, even if it's the one
        currently being edited.  (In that case, the currently edited topic
        will be automatically decrypted before any user interaction, so they
        can continue editing but the copy on the file system will be
        encrypted.)
        Auto-saves will use the \"All except current topic\" mode if this
        one is selected, to avoid practical difficulties -- see below.
 - All except current topic: skip the topic currently being edited, even if
       it's pending encryption.  This may expose the current topic on the
       file sytem, but avoids the nuisance of prompts for the encryption
       passphrase in the middle of editing for, eg, autosaves.
       This mode is used for auto-saves for both this option and \"Yes\".
 - No: leave it to the user to encrypt any unencrypted topics.

For practical reasons, auto-saves always use the 'except-current policy
when auto-encryption is enabled.  (Otherwise, spurious passphrase prompts
and unavoidable timing collisions are too disruptive.)  If security for a
file requires that even the current topic is never auto-saved in the clear,
disable auto-saves for that file."

determination of aberrance is according to the mistaken item
being followed by a legitimate item of excessively greater depth.

The classic example of a mistaken item, for a standard allout
outline configuration, is a body line that begins with an '...'
ellipsis.  This happens to contain a legitimate depth-2 header
prefix, constituted by two '..' dots at the beginning of the
line.  The only thing that can distinguish it *in principle* from
a legitimate one is if the following real header is at a depth
that is discontinuous from the depth of 2 implied by the
ellipsis, ie depth 4 or more.  As the depth being tested gets
greater, the likelihood of this kind of disqualification is
lower, and the usefulness of this test is lower.

Extending the depth of the doublecheck increases the amount it is
applied, increasing the cost of the test - on casual estimation,
for outlines with many deep topics, geometrically (O(n)?).
Taken together with decreasing likelihood that the test will be
useful at greater depths, more modest doublecheck limits are more
suitably economical.")

  "Prime `allout-mode' to enable/disable auto-activation, wrt `allout-layout'.

MODE is one of the following symbols:

 - nil (or no argument) deactivate auto-activation/layout;
 - `activate', enable auto-activation only;
 - `ask', enable auto-activation, and enable auto-layout but with
   confirmation for layout operation solicited from user each time;
 - `report', just report and return the current auto-activation state;
 - anything else (eg, t) for auto-activation and auto-layout, without

Use this function to setup your Emacs session for automatic activation
of allout outline mode, contingent to the buffer-specific setting of
the `allout-layout' variable.  (See `allout-layout' and
`allout-expose-topic' docstrings for more details on auto layout).

`allout-init' works by setting up (or removing) the `allout-mode'
find-file-hook, and giving `allout-auto-activation' a suitable
setting.

\\<allout-mode-map-value>

Allout outline mode always runs as a minor mode.

Allout outline mode provides extensive outline oriented
formatting and manipulation.  It enables structural editing of
outlines, as well as navigation and exposure.  It also is
specifically aimed at accommodating syntax-sensitive text like
programming languages.  \(For example, see the allout code itself,
which is organized as an allout outline.)

In addition to typical outline navigation and exposure, allout includes:

 - topic-oriented authoring, including keystroke-based topic creation,
   repositioning, promotion/demotion, cut, and paste
 - incremental search with dynamic exposure and reconcealment of hidden text
 - adjustable format, so programming code can be developed in outline-structure
 - easy topic encryption and decryption, symmetric or key-pair
 - \"Hot-spot\" operation, for single-keystroke maneuvering and exposure control
 - integral outline layout, for automatic initial exposure when visiting a file
 - independent extensibility, using comprehensive exposure and authoring hooks

and many other features.

Below is a description of the key bindings, and then description
of special `allout-mode' features and terminology.  See also the
outline menubar additions for quick reference to many of the
features, and see the docstring of the function `allout-init' for
instructions on priming your emacs session for automatic
activation of `allout-mode'.

The bindings are those listed in `allout-prefixed-keybindings'
and `allout-unprefixed-keybindings'.  We recommend customizing
`allout-command-prefix' to use just `\\C-c' as the command
prefix, if the allout bindings don't conflict with any personal
bindings you have on \\C-c.  In any case, outline structure
navigation and authoring is simplified by positioning the cursor
on an item's bullet character, the \"hot-spot\" -- then you can
invoke allout commands with just the un-prefixed,
un-control-shifted command letters.  This is described further in
the HOT-SPOT Operation section.

                  Topic Encryption

Outline mode supports gpg encryption of topics, with support for
symmetric and key-pair modes, and auto-encryption of topics
pending encryption on save.

Topics pending encryption are, by default, automatically
encrypted during file saves, including checkpoint saves, to avoid
exposing the plain text of encrypted topics in the file system.
If the content of the topic containing the cursor was encrypted
for a save, it is automatically decrypted for continued editing.

NOTE: A few GnuPG v2 versions improperly preserve incorrect
symmetric decryption keys, preventing entry of the correct key on
subsequent decryption attempts until the cache times-out.  That
can take several minutes.  \(Decryption of other entries is not
affected.)  Upgrade your EasyPG version, if you can, and you can
deliberately clear your gpg-agent's cache by sending it a '-HUP'
signal.

See `allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption' function docstring
and `allout-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves' customization variable
for details.

                 HOT-SPOT Operation

Hot-spot operation provides a means for easy, single-keystroke outline
navigation and exposure control.

When the text cursor is positioned directly on the bullet character of
a topic, regular characters (a to z) invoke the commands of the
corresponding allout-mode keymap control chars.  For example, \"f\"
would invoke the command typically bound to \"C-c<space>C-f\"
\(\\[allout-forward-current-level] `allout-forward-current-level').

Thus, by positioning the cursor on a topic bullet, you can
execute the outline navigation and manipulation commands with a
single keystroke.  Regular navigation keys (eg, \\[forward-char], \\[next-line]) don't get
this special translation, so you can use them to get out of the
hot-spot and back to normal editing operation.

In allout-mode, the normal beginning-of-line command (\\[allout-beginning-of-line]) is
replaced with one that makes it easy to get to the hot-spot.  If you
repeat it immediately it cycles (if `allout-beginning-of-line-cycles'
is set) to the beginning of the item and then, if you hit it again
immediately, to the hot-spot.  Similarly, `allout-beginning-of-current-entry'
\(\\[allout-beginning-of-current-entry]) moves to the hot-spot when the cursor is already located
at the beginning of the current entry.

                             Extending Allout

Allout exposure and authoring activites all have associated
hooks, by which independent code can cooperate with allout
without changes to the allout core.  Here are key ones:

`allout-mode-hook'
`allout-mode-deactivate-hook' \(deprecated)
`allout-mode-off-hook'
`allout-exposure-change-hook'
`allout-structure-added-hook'
`allout-structure-deleted-hook'
`allout-structure-shifted-hook'
`allout-after-copy-or-kill-hook'

                            Terminology

Topic hierarchy constituents -- TOPICS and SUBTOPICS:

ITEM:   A unitary outline element, including the HEADER and ENTRY text.
TOPIC:  An ITEM and any ITEMs contained within it, ie having greater DEPTH
        and with no intervening items of lower DEPTH than the container.
CURRENT ITEM:
        The visible ITEM most immediately containing the cursor.
DEPTH:  The degree of nesting of an ITEM; it increases with containment.
        The DEPTH is determined by the HEADER PREFIX.  The DEPTH is also
        called the:
LEVEL:  The same as DEPTH.

ANCESTORS:
        Those ITEMs whose TOPICs contain an ITEM.
PARENT: An ITEM's immediate ANCESTOR.  It has a DEPTH one less than that
        of the ITEM.
OFFSPRING:
        The ITEMs contained within an ITEM's TOPIC.
SUBTOPIC:
        An OFFSPRING of its ANCESTOR TOPICs.
CHILD:
        An immediate SUBTOPIC of its PARENT.
SIBLINGS:
        TOPICs having the same PARENT and DEPTH.

Topic text constituents:

HEADER: The first line of an ITEM, include the ITEM PREFIX and HEADER
        text.
ENTRY:  The text content of an ITEM, before any OFFSPRING, but including
        the HEADER text and distinct from the ITEM PREFIX.
BODY:   Same as ENTRY.
PREFIX: The leading text of an ITEM which distinguishes it from normal
        ENTRY text.  Allout recognizes the outline structure according
        to the strict PREFIX format.  It consists of a PREFIX-LEAD string,
        PREFIX-PADDING, and a BULLET.  The BULLET might be followed by a
        number, indicating the ordinal number of the topic among its
        siblings, or an asterisk indicating encryption, plus an optional
        space.  After that is the ITEM HEADER text, which is not part of
        the PREFIX.

        The relative length of the PREFIX determines the nesting DEPTH
        of the ITEM.
PREFIX-LEAD:
        The string at the beginning of a HEADER PREFIX, by default a `.'.
        It can be customized by changing the setting of
        `allout-header-prefix' and then reinitializing `allout-mode'.

        When the PREFIX-LEAD is set to the comment-string of a
        programming language, outline structuring can be embedded in
        program code without interfering with processing of the text
        (by emacs or the language processor) as program code.  This
        setting happens automatically when allout mode is used in
        programming-mode buffers.  See `allout-use-mode-specific-leader'
        docstring for more detail.
PREFIX-PADDING:
        Spaces or asterisks which separate the PREFIX-LEAD and the
        bullet, determining the ITEM's DEPTH.
BULLET: A character at the end of the ITEM PREFIX, it must be one of
        the characters listed on `allout-plain-bullets-string' or
        `allout-distinctive-bullets-string'.  When creating a TOPIC,
        plain BULLETs are by default used, according to the DEPTH of the
        TOPIC.  Choice among the distinctive BULLETs is offered when you
        provide a universal argugment \(\\[universal-argument]) to the
        TOPIC creation command, or when explictly rebulleting a TOPIC.  The
        significance of the various distinctive bullets is purely by
        convention.  See the documentation for the above bullet strings for
        more details.
EXPOSURE:
        The state of a TOPIC which determines the on-screen visibility
        of its OFFSPRING and contained ENTRY text.
CONCEALED:
        TOPICs and ENTRY text whose EXPOSURE is inhibited.  Concealed
        text is represented by \"...\" ellipses.

        CONCEALED TOPICs are effectively collapsed within an ANCESTOR.
CLOSED: A TOPIC whose immediate OFFSPRING and body-text is CONCEALED.
OPEN:	A TOPIC that is not CLOSED, though its OFFSPRING or BODY may be."

  "Generate a topic prefix suitable for optional arg DEPTH, or current depth.

All the arguments are optional.

PRIOR-BULLET indicates the bullet of the prefix being changed, or
nil if none.  This bullet may be preserved (other options
notwithstanding) if it is on the `allout-distinctive-bullets-string',
for instance.

Second arg NEW indicates that a new topic is being opened after the
topic at point, if non-nil.  Default bullet for new topics, eg, may
be set (contingent to other args) to numbered bullets if previous
sibling is one.  The implication otherwise is that the current topic
is being adjusted -- shifted or rebulleted -- and we don't consider
bullet or previous sibling.

Third arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless of
the current topics' depth.

If SOLICIT is non-nil, then the choice of bullet is solicited from
user.  If it's a character, then that character is offered as the
default, otherwise the one suited to the context (according to
distinction or depth) is offered.  (This overrides other options,
including, eg, a distinctive PRIOR-BULLET.)  If non-nil, then the
context-specific bullet is used.

Fifth arg, NUMBER-CONTROL, matters only if `allout-numbered-bullet'
is non-nil *and* soliciting was not explicitly invoked.  Then
NUMBER-CONTROL non-nil forces prefix to either numbered or
denumbered format, depending on the value of the sixth arg, INDEX.

\(Note that NUMBER-CONTROL does *not* apply to level 1 topics.  Sorry...)

If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and sixth arg INDEX is non-nil then
the prefix of the topic is forced to be numbered.  Non-nil
NUMBER-CONTROL and nil INDEX forces non-numbered format on the
bullet.  Non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL and non-nil, non-number INDEX means
that the index for the numbered prefix will be derived, by counting
siblings back to start of level.  If INDEX is a number, then that
number is used as the index for the numbered prefix (allowing, eg,
sequential renumbering to not require this function counting back the
index for each successive sibling)."
;;;_    . Code:
  ;; The options are ordered in likely frequence of use, most common
  ;; highest, least lowest.  Ie, more likely to be doing prefix
  ;; adjustments than soliciting, and yet more than numbering.
  ;; Current prefix is least dominant, but most likely to be commonly
  ;; specified...

  "Open a new topic at depth DEPTH.

New topic is situated after current one, unless optional flag BEFORE
is non-nil, or unless current line is completely empty -- lacking even
whitespace -- in which case open is done on the current line.

When adding an offspring, it will be added immediately after the parent if
the other offspring are exposed, or after the last child if the offspring
are hidden.  (The intervening offspring will be exposed in the latter
case.)

If OFFER-RECENT-BULLET is true, offer to use the bullet of the prior sibling.

Nuances:

- Creation of new topics is with respect to the visible topic
  containing the cursor, regardless of intervening concealed ones.

- New headers are generally created after/before the body of a
  topic.  However, they are created right at cursor location if the
  cursor is on a blank line, even if that breaks the current topic
  body.  This is intentional, to provide a simple means for
  deliberately dividing topic bodies.

- Double spacing of topic lists is preserved.  Also, the first
  level two topic is created double-spaced (and so would be
  subsequent siblings, if that's left intact).  Otherwise,
  single-spacing is used.

- Creation of sibling or nested topics is with respect to the topic
  you're starting from, even when creating backwards.  This way you
  can easily create a sibling in front of the current topic without
  having to go to its preceding sibling, and then open forward
  from there."

  "Adjust bullet of current topic prefix.

All args are optional.

If SOLICIT is non-nil, then the choice of bullet is solicited from
user.  If it's a character, then that character is offered as the
default, otherwise the one suited to the context (according to
distinction or depth) is offered.  If non-nil, then the
context-specific bullet is just used.

Second arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless
of the topic's current depth.

Third arg NUMBER-CONTROL can force the prefix to or away from
numbered form.  It has effect only if `allout-numbered-bullet' is
non-nil and soliciting was not explicitly invoked (via first arg).
Its effect, numbering or denumbering, then depends on the setting
of the fourth arg, INDEX.

If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and fourth arg INDEX is nil, then the
prefix of the topic is forced to be non-numbered.  Null index and
non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL forces denumbering.  Non-nil INDEX (and
non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL) forces a numbered-prefix form.  If non-nil
INDEX is a number, then that number is used for the numbered
prefix.  Non-nil and non-number means that the index for the
numbered prefix will be derived by allout-make-topic-prefix.

Fifth arg DO-SUCCESSORS t means re-resolve count on succeeding
siblings.

Cf vars `allout-stylish-prefixes', `allout-old-style-prefixes',
and `allout-numbered-bullet', which all affect the behavior of
this function."

Non-topic yanks work no differently than normal yanks.

If a topic is being yanked into a bare topic prefix, the depth of the
yanked topic is adjusted to the depth of the topic prefix.

  1 we're yanking in an `allout-mode' buffer
  2 the stuff being yanked starts with a valid outline header prefix, and
  3 it is being yanked at the end of a line which consists of only a valid
    topic prefix.

If these conditions hold then the depth of the yanked topics are all
adjusted the amount it takes to make the first one at the depth of the
header into which it's being yanked.

The point is left in front of yanked, adjusted topics, rather than
at the end (and vice-versa with the mark).  Non-adjusted yanks,
however, (ones that don't qualify for adjustment) are handled
exactly like normal yanks.

Numbering of yanked topics, and the successive siblings at the depth
into which they're being yanked, is adjusted.

  "Apply exposure specs to successive outline topic items.

Use the more convenient frontend, `allout-new-exposure', if you don't
need evaluation of the arguments, or even better, the `allout-layout'
variable-keyed mode-activation/auto-exposure feature of allout outline
mode.  See the respective documentation strings for more details.

Cursor is left at start position.

SPEC is either a number or a list.

Successive specs on a list are applied to successive sibling topics.

A simple spec (either a number, one of a few symbols, or the null
list) dictates the exposure for the corresponding topic.

Non-null lists recursively designate exposure specs for respective
subtopics of the current topic.

The `:' repeat spec is used to specify exposure for any number of
successive siblings, up to the trailing ones for which there are
explicit specs following the `:'.

Simple (numeric and null-list) specs are interpreted as follows:

 Numbers indicate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic.
     - negative numbers force the topic to be closed before opening to the
       absolute value of the number, so all siblings are open only to
       that level.
     - positive numbers open to the relative depth indicated by the
       number, but do not force already opened subtopics to be closed.
     - 0 means to close topic -- hide all offspring.
  :  - `repeat'
       apply prior element to all siblings at current level, *up to*
       those siblings that would be covered by specs following the `:'
       on the list.  Ie, apply to all topics at level but the last
       ones.  (Only first of multiple colons at same level is
       respected -- subsequent ones are discarded.)
  *  - completely opens the topic, including bodies.
  +  - shows all the sub headers, but not the bodies
  -  - exposes the body of the corresponding topic.

Examples:
\(allout-expose-topic '(-1 : 0))
	Close this and all following topics at current level, exposing
	only their immediate children, but close down the last topic
	at this current level completely.
\(allout-expose-topic '(-1 () : 1 0))
	Close current topic so only the immediate subtopics are shown;
	show the children in the second to last topic, and completely
	close the last one.
\(allout-expose-topic '(-2 : -1 *))
        Expose children and grandchildren of all topics at current
	level except the last two; expose children of the second to
	last and completely open the last one."

  "Deprecated.  Use `allout-expose-topic' (with different schema
format) instead.

Dictate wholesale exposure scheme for current topic, according to SPEC.

SPEC is either a number or a list.  Optional successive args
dictate exposure for subsequent siblings of current topic.

A simple spec (either a number, a special symbol, or the null list)
dictates the overall exposure for a topic.  Non null lists are
composite specs whose first element dictates the overall exposure for
a topic, with the subsequent elements in the list interpreted as specs
that dictate the exposure for the successive offspring of the topic.

Simple (numeric and null-list) specs are interpreted as follows:

 - Numbers indicate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic:
  - negative numbers force the topic to be close before opening to the
    absolute value of the number.
  - positive numbers just open to the relative depth indicated by the number.
  - 0 just closes
 - `*' completely opens the topic, including bodies.
 - `+' shows all the sub headers, but not the bodies
 - `-' exposes the body and immediate offspring of the corresponding topic.

If the spec is a list, the first element must be a number, which
dictates the exposure depth of the topic as a whole.  Subsequent
elements of the list are nested SPECs, dictating the specific exposure
for the corresponding offspring of the topic.

Optional FOLLOWERS arguments dictate exposure for succeeding siblings."

  "Encrypt clear or decrypt encoded topic text.

Allout uses emacs 'epg' libary to perform encryption.  Symmetric
and keypair encryption are supported.  All encryption is ascii
armored.

Entry encryption defaults to symmetric key mode unless keypair
recipients are associated with the file \(see
`epa-file-encrypt-to') or the function is invoked with a
\(KEYMODE-CUE) universal argument greater than 1.

When encrypting, KEYMODE-CUE universal argument greater than 1
causes prompting for recipients for public-key keypair
encryption.  Selecting no recipients results in symmetric key
encryption.

Further, encrypting with a KEYMODE-CUE universal argument greater
than 4 - eg, preceded by a doubled Ctrl-U - causes association of
the specified recipients with the file, replacing those currently
associated with it.  This can be used to deassociate any
recipients with the file, by selecting no recipients in the
dialog.

Encrypted topic's bullets are set to a `~' to signal that the
contents of the topic (body and subtopics, but not heading) is
pending encryption or encrypted.  `*' asterisk immediately after
the bullet signals that the body is encrypted, its absence means
the topic is meant to be encrypted but is not currently.  When a
file with topics pending encryption is saved, topics pending
encryption are encrypted.  See allout-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves
for auto-encryption specifics.

\*NOTE WELL* that automatic encryption that happens during saves will
default to symmetric encryption -- you must deliberately (re)encrypt key-pair
encrypted topics if you want them to continue to use the key-pair cipher.

Level-one topics, with prefix consisting solely of an `*' asterisk, cannot be
encrypted.  If you want to encrypt the contents of a top-level topic, use
\\[allout-shift-in] to increase its depth."
