The only way that this kind of information can be parsed out of a text file would be if you create it using a standard syntax that is unambiguous and (preferably) easy to parse. And you will have to conform to it rigorously. That's not so easy. I suggest that most of that work could and should be done after you have split out the text into zettels. No parser required, except perhaps to split out the sections into zettels. [snip] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
