There are several aspects of the Eureka: 1. An answer to a long-standing question, namely, how can we make sense of the concept of a "half clone", that is, "a clone without children". The answer is clear: we are really talking about clones with *other* children. 2. As a spur to new thinking. Hans has taken the "first next" step. He points out that treating a *particular* set of children as the "right" children is as limiting as treating a particular view of data as the "right" view. It's much more interesting to treat all (or multiple) structures as equally valid. For example, I am pretty sure that the present limitations of the rst3 command could be removed if that command were not "tied" to the "official" outline structure. You have mentioned the desire to create different kinds of documentation from the "same" data. We can see now that the Eureka makes that possible in a new way. The data is simply content, but now the structure can vary freely. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
