Right. I input text, a layer of code watches what I do, translates it, writes it to the rendering pane. if a single arrow is a 'watcher' and double arrow is a 'changer' a triple arrow is a 'watcher' plus a 'changer' render watches me, writes to rendered me <- render ->> rendered in the demo, render watches me, writes to rendered, also watches rendered, uses what it sees to change me me <<<- render ->>> rendered > >> There is room for improvement in Leo in the event tracking scaffold. > > Well, that's an understatement. > > I know from experience just how difficult it is to have bi-directional > interaction with Leo's outline.
