Hi,

This is just a short story with two screenshots.

I have been using Leo less and less, as I go to live coding and moldable
environments and I'm building my own interactive outliner (Grafoscopio)
powered by Pharo. But recently I need to tackle a difficult text while
preparing a couple of papers. This is a place where Leo shines for me,
when you are deconstructing already existing text, written by other or
by yourself, no matter if it is prose or code.

At some point, the hierarchical layout provided by the (excellent)
TeXStudio LaTeX editor, with side previews, where not enough to organize
the text further. I need a more granular approach to my ideas. As
happened before, I remember using Leo to create emergent order from code
and scripts that where organized beyond the class/methods hierarchy
provided by code editors, and I did the same with this complex text.
Thanks to the @file directive, I was able to use both tools in tandem:
With Leo I organized the text in a granular way, finding redundancies,
editing and moving outside of the article outline unnecessary ideas and
with TeXStudio I used all the bells and whistles about PDF preview,
querying bibliography, counting article words (not LaTeX commands) and
so on. Such combination, allowed my to tackle the writing process in a
way that no tool by itself could allow.

Here are the screenshots of the two tools working on the same text:

Grafoscopio is a research prototype that scaped the PhD, but still needs
to mature a lot and has much to learn from Leo and its community.

Cheers,

Offray
