Orgmode: Hide leading chars `#+`
reddit / emacs

I have come across a video from Protesilaos [https://www.youtube.com/w
atch?v=WEQipHmt8ps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEQipHmt8ps) where
he shows an org document in which `#+title: ` is shown as `title: `.

How is he able to hide the leading chars `#+` in his text? Anyone can
point me to the right setup?

If you are interesting in having a slightly cleaner org mode, maybe
take a look at this too:

A raw, simple, basic approach you might like for this and more

    (use-package prog-mode
      :ensure nil
      :after org
      :hook
      ;; unhide prettify to ease edit with point at the and of a
symbol
      ;;(prettify-symbols-unprettify-at-point 'right-edge)

      ;; substitude a sequence of char with a single UTF-8 symbol
      (org-mode-hook .
                     (lambda ()
                      "Beautify Org Checkbox Symbol"
                      (push '("[ ]" .  "☐") prettify-symbols-alist)
                      (push '("[X]" . "☑" ) prettify-symbols-alist)
                      (push '("[-]" . "❍" ) prettify-symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+BEGIN_SRC" . "↦" ) prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '("#+END_SRC" . "⇤" ) prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '("#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE" . "↦" ) prettify-
symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+END_EXAMPLE" . "⇤" ) prettify-
symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+BEGIN_QUOTE" . "↦" ) prettify-
symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+END_QUOTE" . "⇤" ) prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '("#+begin_quote" . "↦" ) prettify-
symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+end_quote" . "⇤" ) prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '("#+begin_example" . "↦" ) prettify-
symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+end_example" . "⇤" ) prettify-
symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+begin_src" . "↦" ) prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '("#+end_src" . "⇤" ) prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '("#+begin_abstract" . "«" ) prettify-
symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+end_abstract" . "»" ) prettify-
symbols-alist)
                      (push '(">=" . "≥") prettify-symbols-alist)
                      (push '("<=" . "≤") prettify-symbols-alist)
                      (push '("=>" . "⇨") prettify-symbols-alist)
                      (push '("#+results:" . "") prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '("#+RESULTS:" . "") prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '(":PROPERTIES:" . "") prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '(":properties:" . "") prettify-symbols-
alist)
                      (push '(":END:" . "") prettify-symbols-alist)
                      (push '(":end:" . "") prettify-symbols-alist)
                      (prettify-symbols-mode))))

These are just examples from my config, you can substitute anything
and not only in org-mode.

What does this have to do with `prog-mode`?

It's defined there, `prettify-symbols-mode` definition live in prog-
mode.el part of Emacs upstream distribution that's why the `:ensure
nil` part since can't be installed, it's already there.
