[feature request] Start the presentation at a given heading about org-tree-slide HOT 5 CLOSED

Could you try to set org-tree-slide-cursor-init equal to nil? The user variable can control the cursor position when starting of your slideshow, yes, automatically move it to the first heading when the variable is t. So, after setting it to nil, move the cursor on the heading of Regular expressions as you kindly provided. And just activate org-tree-slide-mode. The presentation will start from the heading, not from the beginning of the file.

@takaxp Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't know that org-tree-slide-cursor-init could be used to set that behavior.

Before posting this issue, I read the docstring of all defcustom variables in org-tree-slide.el, but it wasn't clear to me that org-tree-slide-cursor-init could set that behavior. The first line of the docstring mentions exit slideshow, but it doesn't mention that it sets the starting slide.

I'd suggest that the docstring explicitly mentions that it also sets the starting slide. The first line in the docstring in the code block below is my suggestion.

(defcustom org-tree-slide-cursor-init t
  "Specify a cursor position at start and exit of the slideshow.
Non-nil: the cursor will move automatically to the head of buffer.
nil: keep the same position."
  :type 'boolean
  :group 'org-tree-slide)

@rdrg109 Thank you for reading the docstrings. The variable was introduced at very early stage of development, and as you pointed the description is not good and also not reflect the actual function. I agree with your comment then it will be updated in the next update of this package. Thanks!
