Here is what I have just added to the release notes. Terry, please correct me if I have forget anything significant. I haven't covered all the settings because I've wanted to concentrate on the most important features.
Leo's abbreviations have been significantly improved by adding scripted abbreviations and templates. This is the work of Terry Brown, <[email protected]> Terry describes the new features in a screencast: http://www.greygreen.org/tmp/leoabbrev.ogv The highlights:: 1. The @data abbreviations-subst-env node contains a script defining the environment in which all abbreviations execute. This allows helper functions to be deined. Very handly. 2. Scripts may span multiple lines. Line starting with "\:" (2 characters) continue a script. This allows abbreviations to define multi-line templates. Helpers defined in @data abbreviations-subst-env can fill in templates with *calculated* (not predefined) data. 3. Templates may contain placeholders that the user can fill in. By default, the double comma binding selects the next placeholder. 4. Added a new setting: @bool scripting-abbreviations, default False. Scripting abbreviations will be enabled if *either* of the following is True:: @bool scripting-abbreviations @bool scripting-at-script-nodes This is a safety feature: it allows scripting abbreviations to be enabled *without* enabling the (very dangerous in general) scripting-at-script-nodes setting. 5. Added a new example node: @@data abbreviations examples. This contains several extremely useful scripts.
