My question was very poorly worded. Background; I consider Leo to be an amazing tool to manage my data, data which I want other tools to be able to easily consume and produce. >From my viewpoint, the format of the xml in the .leo file is of primary importance. Some statements on this thread have worried me in this regard, however I have the feeling that I am missing the point. If restructuring the .leo file is being discussed, I'd like to see examples to illustrate, if not, and this is all about what goes on inside Leo ... [-: Nevermind :-] > The answer is yes.
