I am sorry that I can't express myself as good as I would like to. My old
brain worked a lot better back in the 70s :) and on the risk to be one
annoying freak for you, I need to try to clarify on this for myself. Feeling
just too stupid.

I am using leo now (maybe not intense enough) since there were no @thin
nodes yet (don't remember the version anymore and still stick to the @root
nodes btw.).

Always wondered about why this thing I asked for now was not there. As far
as it concerns me there is nothing to be in the scope of reading or
retrieving something from derived files (except changes made outside leo).

That's the point: I am looking for marking a "text-section" in leo which
doesn't get written to the derived file.
Now, I understood from you something like that leo actually does not look at
the leo file when it loads an outline?
It just reads the derived file without interpreting something or merging
information from the corresponding .leo file ?
Which means the .leo file is created as soon as I save the work in leo?

But I can't be right here leo must know how to organize the tnodes so this
information must come from the .leo outline file. When I am able to mark a
node @silent in order to prevent all sentinels in the resulting source,
there must be some involvement of the .leo file. Same for the @doc and @code
tags. There must be some logic which tells leo to convert this section into
language specific comments.

Hmm, when I would change this algorythm to not convert this text section to
language specific comments and get written down to the derived file, but
just ignore this section while writing the rest of the file as usual,
wouldn't I have the desired functionality. Well, as we will still need the
@doc and @code so one may want to come up with somenting like @nowrite and
@write or alike to mark a section in leo as "not to be written to derived
files".

Maybe I am just too far off, just ignore when it bugs you too much, thanks
anyway for you anwer, know you're pretty busy with the real stuff.

best
Stefan
