The free_layout and viewrendered plugins are a huge step forward.  But
the lighter/heavier distinction suggests a new way to use them.

Suppose Leo supports @render-rest or @render-html.

This means that all nodes in the tree will have the body pane become a
rendering pane for rST or html.

Imagine LeoDocs completely rendered at all times.

Of course, for specific purposes, say in Leo's scripting chapter, we
might want to override these rendering directives (which should be
allowed in headlines too) with @no-render.

The point is that having *both* the original text *and* the rendered
text be visible is often too heavy: the user usually does not want to
know about the sources: the rendering is good enough.

I suppose for sophisticated users, something like show/hide-body pane
would be good commands to have, but that doesn't matter: those
commands to not increase the burden on the user while she is reading
the (rendered) docs.

Your comments please, Amigos.
