2.2 Headlines

Headlines define the structure of an outline tree. The headlines in Org start with one or more stars, on the left margin1. For example: 

     * Top level headline
     ** Second level
     *** 3rd level
         some text
     *** 3rd level
         more text
     
     * Another top level headline

Some people find the many stars too noisy and would prefer an outline that has whitespace followed by a single star as headline starters. Clean view, describes a setup to realize this.
