I think the OP is looking for Leo to edit text with an interface like this: http://netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/uploads/2008/11/11_damn_small_rich_text_editor.jpg I think Leo's users have been focused on plain text approaches like rst and md. But I'm wondering if this might be fairly low hanging fruit, because Qt serializes rich text as HTML. So firstly, Fidel's approach could work as long as the external editor called was an HTML editor. The Leo body window would just display the raw HTML, and the view rendered window could display the rendered version without invoking the external editor. But secondly it would be an almost trivial plugin if we can find a PyQt rich text editor. Trouble is, that seems to be harder than you'd think, or at least it was last time this came up. It would need to be cross platform and PyQt, as in Python, friendly. Qt offers this C++ starting point: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/demos-textedit.html Googling PyQt rich text editor doesn't throw any obvious candidates up.
