When you are working on the overall structure of your outline, sometimes it is nice to be able to ignore the details and see, for example, just the first-level headings. The emacs outline mode allows you to temporarily hide parts of your outline. Later, if you like, you can show (reveal) the hidden parts.
Lines containing hidden material will end with three
periods (...) to remind you that
there is something hidden.
