I started to use the Emacs org-mode for my todo lists. However, when I save my file all plain text is removed, how do I prevent this from happening?

e.g.

开发者_开发技巧file todo.org:

• thing 1
• thing 2

  Some regular harmless text I would prefer to keep

• thing 3

becomes:

• thing 1
• thing 2
• thing 3

Okay, I'm silly, I didn't know org-mode would collapse things. It does indeed say:

• thing 1
• thing 2...
• thing 3

And S-TAB will hide/show all text. Thanks guys!

That's very odd behaviour. I use org-mode a lot and have never seen this problem. Are you quite sure it doesn't become;

    * thing 1
    * thing 2...
    * thing 3
