This might be the place to mention something that has been in the back of my mind for a while. It might be possible to use/support some "style" conventions to make the shadow files appear more conventional and less like a Leo file with the sentinels stripped out.
Primarily I'm talking about comment blocks. Leo's free form, "let me take care of line wrapping" is a great feature, it makes it positively inviting to toss in a comment, but in the non-Leo world, people, (and organizations) can structure comments in an almost obsessive way. For example, section comments might take this form: #=========================================== Utility Routines #=========================================== sometimes having styles for various levels of nested/sub sections: #+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Helper Routines #+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Orange Helpers #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and so on. Function comments often have their own style: ################################################## # func: getSomeOranges # argvs: orchard, plot, type # # This function looks at the orchard and ... # written by: trf # updated 08/06/2008, by erm - added error checking ### If we added support for this kind of thing, we would make the shadow files look more conventional, plus, we might also be able to use this as a kind of hinting system that makes some of the headline/body portioning that Leo does implicit in the shadow files.
