Always a good plan :-)

So you want '~' to denote a clone?  I suppose this would work, but
it's not "safe" in the sense that it will use the headline text,
rather than a unique gnx, to identify nodes that should be clones.

Before getting into details, I think it might be best to step back and
think of some alternatives.  Rather than create a new file format, and
complex code to parse same, my inclination would be to create a python
script that would import the information directly into a Leo outline.
It that works it will be much simpler than the way you are proposing.

In other words, creating an intermediate file which you then import
creates a very complex unnecessary step.  If you have information you
want to import, it will probably be much easier to open that
information in a Leo script, which then creates nodes using
p.insertAsNthChild or p.insertAfter.

HTH.  Please feel free to continue this conversation.  It's interesting.
