> Leo's clone-marked command creates, in effect, a Prezi path. Let me be more precise. The clone-marked command creates an *ordinary* mode called "clones of marked nodes". Let us call this the **Leo path node**. We can rename the path node as we like. The headline of the path node becomes the name of the path. The *ordered* children of the path node *are* the nodes of the (Prezi) path. A Prezi path is precisely equivalent to a Leo view. Prezi nodes have no notion of children. Traversing a Prezi path is *precisely* equivalent to traversing the *top-level* children of the Leo path node. This shows that there is no need to clone a node *excluding* its children. The reason is simple, in any given context (as in a Leo path node) we are always free to ignore a node's children. This applies to scripts as well, of course. This proves that Leo can do everything that Prezi can do. Conversely, there are many things that Leo can do that Prezi has no hope of doing: - Leo nodes have inherent structure, namely children. - Leo nodes can be cloned. The clones share the original structure. - Leo outlines define an outline order. No such order is possible in Prezi: there are only *particular* orders in Prezi.
