I would like to learn how to do that. And how to make the appropriate template to create a new 'zettel' in Thomas' format. But what do you mean with title? Leo does not force you to use a title, but > for something meaningful you can't automate this, or do you? > In Thomas Passin's prototype, which I downloaded, 1st he types a title heading, 2nd a @rst subheading, with title (for Sphinx, which is fine), 3rd a @path heading, with title, 4th a @rst subheading, again with title, and that 4th node is our zettel. Four new nodes, four titles before I start writing. At least that is how I understand it (Thomas correct me). For me that is a lot of overhead and distraction before I can start typing. I don't even want to decide upon a title, because I may not know yet what the best title should be. I just want to hit a hot key and start writing/thinking. Title can come after I've completed the thought. You see Thomas, in his posts below, holding my hand. That's because I am a Leo newbie and also I'm not a programmer. Everything in this playground is baby steps for me, which is why I am leaning on Thomas, who is taking the lead on this. I am a pain in the derriere to these great folks, but so far they haven't thrown me out. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
