David,
PS I just used Leo to construct a long university essay. Wonderful it was to have the various pieces sitting in nodes where I could see the high-level structure and freely rearrange at will. Just another way that Leo has helped me massively over the last decade! :)
What was the final delivery format of the essay? Did you turn the Leo "tree" into, say, a .doc file by some means?
I'm asking because it triggered a thought: I've been a generally satisfied user of Open/LibreOffice Writer for many years. One weakness it has, especially compared to MS Word, is a weak outlining capability. There's been a ticket open on this for several years now, with no indication that it'll ever be acted on.
So, could a Leo "hyperdocument" be constructed in such a way that it could be mapped into a .odt file, with minimal post-editing to make it ready for publishing? Even if it could, there'd be a price to pay for a Writer user, in the form of the Leo learning curve. On the other hand, the power of Leo would likely leave Word's outliner in the dust. (Full disclosure: I'm not very familiar with the latter.)
FWIW, Don Dwiggins Emacs user looking to transition to Leo... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
