Imo, this is true for programmers as well as non-programmers. There has
been a lot of talk about a "self-fulfilling prophesy" that Leo is only for
programmers. The "content is king" principle is the antidote!

Ok. Let's discuss what would work for you.
First, have you tried @clean with @language latex?
Here is the test I use:
*Root node*@clean c:\test\latex_test.tex (head)
@language latex
@others
*First child*Part 1 (head)
\paragraph{one}
This is paragraph 1.
With another line.
*Second child*Part 2 (head)
\paragraph{two}
This is paragraph 2.
*Work flow*
1. Create the outline just describe in Leo.
2. Save the outline, and open it in Typora. *Leave Leo open.*
3. Make changes in Typora and save the file.
4. Leo will ask whether you want to change the outline. Say ye.
You will now see the changes in Leo that you made in Typora. Leo's @clean
might put the changes in the "wrong" node. If so, put them in the proper
node and save the file. Chances are, there will be no changes, but now Leo
will remember where you want the lines the next time you open Leo. That's
the magic of @clean.
If you don't mind Leo sentinels, you could use @file instead of @clean.
This ensure that changes you make in Typora will *always* go to the right
node. Having said that, you will probably want to use @clean.
Let me know if you want something more than this. If not, I'll close #774
