The problem is that there is no mapping between such a structure and a graph. A more straightforward representation is: @node title (body contains content) - @parent-nodes (body contains gnx's of parent nodes) - @child-nodes (body contains gnx's of child nodes) Yes, this is a "lower-level" representation, but it allows @node trees to be arranged as the user pleases. That is, the organization of the @node nodes does *not* affect the graph. What Terry wants is for somehow the organization of such nodes to *be* the graph. That's too much magic, imo. Much better, imo, for the graph *view* to be the graph structure, and for the @node nodes to be largely hidden (but user organizable) containers. Edward P.S. The format above ignores the question of whether the links are directed. Various options exist, but none of them affect the essence of the overall discussion.
