--- Comment #10 from Susan Cragin <[email protected]> 2012-02-07 06:28:35 PST --- (In reply to comment #9) > Thanks for good explanation. It is interesting idea. It's a critical idea. Single pane outliners with the ability to organize visually and move large blocks of text are critical to writing and publishing. I know many writers and most use Macs just to get OmniOutliner, which is the gold standard for writers and academics right now. I teach and belong to a professional writers' group and every serious published member seems to have a Mac running OmniOutliner except me. There are also several other good single-pane outliners for Macs. On Windows the best is the discontinued EccoPro. MSOffice has an okay one that my students have to use to learn to outline. Linux has nothing at all. Currently I draft using Scite and the CSS stylesheet function to get a good nesting outline. It's far from ideal and I have {{{ brackets and strange colors all over the place. I also run Notepad2 with code folding, which runs well in wine. N2 has keystrokes to move blocks of text up and down. Coupled with the outline function, that makes this tiny program very useful for drafting. LO's Navigator is good when you have a finished document, but nearly useless for brainstorming and organizing. Moving back and forth is a time-consuming. I would work entirely from the navigator panel if I could, but of course you can't edit the navigator panel. Dave Winer's OPML editor might provide some interesting open-sourced code. This is more than an interesting idea. This is a critical function. My only quesstion is whether it should be a view in LO's writer or be made a special outlining program. I could do without formatting, fonts, publication views and so on to really be able to organize lots of text. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
