I believe the following is missing from the bookmarks documentation. At any rate, I could not deduce the following from the documentation. After reading the code and experimenting, I believe the following. If I'm wrong, hopefully someone will correct me.
You can't set a bookmark in an outline until you have designated a node to be a root of a bookmark subtree. This is done by the "show" button in the bookmarks menu or by the bookmarks-show command. This creates a pane for displaying bookmarks. Initially the pane is completely blank. It is a good idea to shrink this pane to one or two lines and then to save the current layout. If you try to set a bookmark before doing a "bookmarks show," you will see the error message "Bookmarks not active for this outline" in the log pane. You can have several bookmark root nodes in one file. Each with its own bookmark pane. Any of the bookmark panes can be used to go to a bookmark. But you can only add bookmarks to the most recently designated bookmark root. The intended use of the bookmarks plugin is that there is only one bookmarks pane per file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
