Unlike `outline-mode', `outline-minor-mode' does not change the appearance of headings to look different from comments. This package defines the faces `outline-minor-N', which inherit from the respective `outline-N' faces used in `outline-mode' and arranges for them to be used in `outline-minor-mode'. Usage: (use-package outline-minor-faces :after outline :config (add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook 'outline-minor-faces-add-font-lock-keywords)) If you want to only enable these faces in certain major-modes, then add this function to their hooks instead of to the above hook.
