That was also a user case I had most in the past. In fact, config files were embedded between bigger narratives on the technology I was using. So lighttpd.conf was inside a how to install your own webserver. I have not the files with me know (I plan in the future to make a digital archeology of myself and my communities using those digital artifacts). Do you have any screenshot to share?

Cheers,

Offray

Among the other things, I am using Leo increasingly often to manage complex config files. I find Leo especially useful when managing my Emacs configuration. I have a number of Emacs config files structured as Leo outlines, each file corresponding to a @clean branch.

One of these files is dedicated to packages. Settings for individual Emacs packages can be neatly put in dedicated nodes each corresponding to a use-package call (see https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package).
There are several advantages to this modularity, besides clarity.

For example, I can simply disable a package by moving the corresponding node outside of its @clean subtree. This is handy for trouble-shooting or testing the effect of individual packages on the current configuration without a lot of file searching and editing.

I can also combine packages like lego bricks to tailor different configurations for different purposes (for example, I have a separate configuration for org-mode in Leo that I switch on or off when needed).

Clones of a package node can be used in different configurations, so that if I change a setting in one configuration the change reverberates to all other configurations using the same package.

Also, thanks to python scripting in Leo I can do things like printing a table of all current key bindings used in my Emacs config, etc.

    Imo, one of the most direct ways of showing what Leo can do is to
    show lots of cool screenshots.

    Not just cool color schemes, but screenshots that hint at the ways
    Leo can be customized to do various tasks.

    Please send the screenshots (or links to them) here, or to me at
    [email protected] <javascript:>. I would like to feature dozens of
    new screenshots for the 5.3 release.

    Thanks!
