You have identified what could be called the Holy Grail of documentation
, namely to use a single source that can generate different text depending
on context.
In all such "challenging" situations, the most straightforward approach is
to use a script to create "helper" nodes from you list of clones. Here is
a tested prototype:
use_tags = False
if use_tags:
tc = c.theTagController
assert tc, 'when use_tags is True this script requires nodetags.py
plugin'
root1 = g.findNodeAnywhere(c, 'my book')
assert root1, 'my book not found'
root2 = g.findNodeAnywhere(c, 'my book (sphinx)')
if root2:
while root2.hasChildren():
root2.firstChild().doDelete()
else:
last = c.lastTopLevel()
root2 = last.insertAfter()
nasm = '.. code:: nasm\n\n'
for p in root1.self_and_subtree():
if not use_tags or use_tags and 'nasm' in tc.get_tags(p):
print(p.h)
p2 = root2.insertAsLastChild()
p2.h = p.h
p2.b = nasm + p.b
root2.expand()
c.redraw()
This creates a *copy *(not clones) of the previously cloned nodes. If
use_tags is true, it adds '.. code:: nasm\n\n' to all nodes tagged with
'nasm'. Otherwise, it adds
'.. code:: nasm\n\n' to all nodes.
Again, this is just a prototype, but it shows that relatively simple Leo
scripts can massage text in any desired manner. This script could be
placed in an @button node.
Please study this script (running it would be best) and ask any further
questions you like.
