As I think about how Leo could be useful with the zettel-box approach, I do see a way. But it's not to have each note be a node in a Leo outline. Can you imagine trying to work with thousands or tens of thousands of nodes in the outline pane? Instead, I can see using an @zettel tree whereby if you put a node name into the headline of the node, Leo would open that note and any notes it linked to. You could keep them in a group forever in the outline if you liked, or delete the tree when you were done with that activity.
You would be able to edit any note just like any other markdown node. In the vewrendered pane you could see a rendered view of the note or the whole tree it was in. Possibly you could get other kinds of views in the VR pane. I would favor a mind map type view, myself. You would be able to launch full text searches of the notes. I'm thinking that the Python Whoosh search engine would be good for that. You would have the wiki-like ability to create a new note by using its name if it didn't already exist. Would this be better than using Zettelr? I don't know, I just installed it and haven't played with it except to see that it has a very good ability to import many file formats, including LibreOffice documents, and convert them to markdown. Maybe that would be the way to go - use Zettelr to convert to markdown, and then use either Leo to work with the converted notes. You'd still be able to use Zettelr for anything it was better at. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
