When I open this file in emacs
I see emacs is showing me ** lines as *** lines.
Whats the logic behind this?
Update:
I noticed the file has a heading like this
#+STARTUP: align indent fold nodlcheck hidestars oddeven lognotestate

When I open this file with no custom org configuration (e.g. emacs -q), I don't see the same thing. The STARTUP line you mention is enabling org-hide-leading-stars, which means I only see one * per heading, just indented to the correct level. Have you customized org mode in some way? A theme that changes the `org-hide` face might also be a factor. – glucas Jan 16 '18 at 19:57

1The STARTUP line also sets `oddeven`, but it looks like perhaps you are using `org-odd-levels-only`? Even then you would have to explicitly convert the file (see `org-convert-to-odd-levels`). Opening an existing file and switching to odd levels only would not actually change the file. Things I would try: Switch to text-mode, do you see 2 or 3 stars there? If 2, then look at org appearance / theme settings. If 3, then the file has been modified, possibly by `org-convert-to-odd-levels`. I'd also try starting emacs with -q and see if the behavior is different. – glucas Jan 16 '18 at 20:08
