It's not really sharing data in the sense of running one script and another script having access to data created by the first script. I'd liken what I'm talking about to setting environmental variables in a Linux environment and being able to access that variable from any shell script.
I guess the problem is as Terry described, I think a user would have to have access to the write logic for a plugin to work seamlessly with Leo. It would have to traverse the outline checking for all the instances of the global variables and replacing them during the write sequences. I don't think valuespace can do this. I don't think valuespace can do what I'm talking about at all because what I'm doing isn't for scripting and valuespace seems to be aimed directly at scripting. I'd be pleased if I was wrong and somehow a plugin could handle such a replacement before a file write. On Monday, May 4, 2015 at 10:46:28 AM UTC-4, Edward K.
