*** Why do some of my =org=-related settings cause problems?
Since version 0.104, spacemacs uses the `org` version from the org ELPA

** Gnuplot support

Org-mode support the plotting of data within tables through [[http://www.gnuplot.info/][Gnuplot]] as
demonstrated [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-plot.html][here]]; unfortunately, this is [[https://github.com/bruceravel/gnuplot-mode/issues/15][not terribly well supported]] on Windows

as usual by adding the package =gnuplot= to your =dotspacemacs-excluded-packages=
variable.

You can tweak the bullets displayed in the org buffer in the function
=dotspacemacs/user-config= of your dotfile by setting the variable
=org-bullets-bullet-list=. By default the list is set to =("◉" "○" "✸" "✿")=.
