Chapters create an illusion of having a separate Leo document, while you are operating on a segment of a bigger document instead (with ability to clone, etc). Fictional example: Let's say you have a big "workbook.leo", and you have to give 2 presentations coming up. Your workbook.leo contains confidential stuff. You create 2 chapters, presentation-a and presentation-b. You clone various interesting (non-confidential) nodes to those chapters. When the presentation starts, you can open presentation-a. This immediately hides all the stuff you deem too sensitive for that audience. When the second presentation is up, you open presentation-b. Two weeks pass, and you edit workbook.leo, fixing inaccuracies as you go. You have to give both presentations again, and you still have both of those chapters around, with improved content. If you had created 2 separate leo documents, they wouldn't have been updated. Also, if you were sharing nodes between presentation a and b, you would have THREE copies of the same nodes (workbook.leo, a, b), instead of just one. Less fictional example: I have a chapter "gtd" for "gettings things done". When I come to a node that is an "action point" for me, I clone it under "inbox" in the gtd chapter. The chapter also has "now", "later", "done", "deferred" nodes to manage tasks. Having this stuff in separate chapter helps you focus because you are not staring at tons of nodes at the same time. -- Ville M.
