My misunderstanding was a combination of not reading the documentation clearly and going by partial examples combined with taking the "obvious" interpretation. I went back and read the documentation at http://leoeditor.com/directives.html
There you clearly wrote: @first <text> > Places lines at the very start of an external file, before any Leo > sentinels. @first lines must be the very first lines in an @<file> node. > More then one @first lines may appear. Confusing (to me) references to @first: 1) http://leoeditor.com/basics4.html#using-first The @first directive forces a lines to appear before the first sentinel of > a external file. For example: There was no mention of where the@first directive should go. Potential rewrite: The @first directive forces a lines to appear at the start of a external file. The @first directive is valid only at the beginning of an @clean or @file section. The order in which the @first directives are written will be replicated in the external file. 2) http://leoeditor.com/glossary.html @first <text> The @first directive allows you to place one or more lines at the very > start of an external file, before the first sentinel. For example: Same ambiguous wording as above. Same fix? hope this helps. --- eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
