Belay that. Rev 3ef9da4d adds @button import-tab-files to scripts.leo. The script imports the file given in the @button node to a Leo outline. *Notes* 1. The script checks that leading whitespace is either all blanks or all tabs throughout the file. You must fix intermixed blanks and tabs before running this script. 2. The script will work with separate_nodes either True or False, but setting it to True is probably what you want. Every line of the file gets its own node. Otherwise, adjacent lines at the same level get put into the same node. 3. The code has been tested only where indentation is consistent, say always a multiple of 4. It's possible to imagine weird cases, say an indentation of 6 following lines with indentations 4 and 8 respectively. Probably something reasonable happens, but no guarantees. 4. This code could be folded into a command that prompts for a command, say by using a dialog, but for now the script should suffice for importing files. Please let me know how the script works for you. Edward P.S. The script is similar to the javascript importer, which is why I wrote it today. EKR > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
