NoteLynX doesn't call them "clones," but if you look at the XML file, you will see that the implementation is the same as Leo-Editor's implementation of "clones." Both NoteLynX and Leo-Editor use multiple "parent" pointers. They both call them "parent" pointers. This is all there is to it in the data structure. The differences are in how this structure is presented to the user by the GUI; and in Leo-Editor's prohibition of loops. > Alternate parents are shown as 'categories' for multiple categories. All parents are equal. In the "outline" (I know that NoteLynX doesn't call it an outline, but it is an outline.) if node X has parents A and B, then when X is shown under A, B is shown as the "alternate parent"; and when X is shown under B, A is shown as the "alternate parent." In the XML file, node X has parent links to A and to B; and the order of the links doesn't matter. All parents are equal. When you designate a node as a "category," the node does NOT become a category. Instead if becomes a Parent-of-Categories and its immediate children become categories, but its grandchildren, etc. do NOT become categories. > So the tree can be infinite cycling, and multiple parents and friends > are simply displayed as such and can cycle recursively. Really? In my experiments, I think NoteLynX deals with loops unpredictably. That is, I think loops expose bugs in NoteLynX. That is, it seems to me that when I do exactly the same thing (contracting and expanding nodes) several times NoteLynX produces different displays and I can't make any sense out of the displays. -- Segundo Bob [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
