Rather than saying something overly general, as I have been saying for years, "in Leo, outlines are significant everywhere", the term allows us to say something like: "In Leo, templates are aware of outline structure and, thanks to Leo's DOM, Leo scripts are aware of the outline in which they are embedded." External files created by Leo are *not* aware of outline structure, unless they use the leoBridge module. Thus the distinction between Leo scripts (including plugins) and external files becomes sharper: the former are aware of outline structure, the latter are not. Here, the template language consists of @others, sections and section references, and Leo directives. All three "understand" outline structure, and are defined in terms of outline structure. Also, the term "outline structure" really refers to *graph* (DAG) structure. It may be too late to change your abstract, but I hope this helps organize your talk. It has certainly clarified my thinking. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
