Taking text off a branch
Hi, I set some text to be on a branch, but now I want to remove it from that branch. Other than the CutPaste dance, is there another way? If not, is it possible to have a Insert Branch None feature, or is it possible to have NONE as an option when you right-click on the branch?

When the cursor is at the first position in the branch, type backspace (so called dissolve inset action). This is not something you discover without being told, but it works very well. JMarc

Yes, a pretty obscure feature called dissolve-inset. Just put your cursor at the beginning of the branch and hit the Backspace key. Abdel.

Abdel.
Thanks for this. It really should be added in the User Guide, since it's
only a couple of lines:
If you want to remove something from a branch, but your cursor at the
beginning of the branch and press the Backspace key. This will remove
the surrounding inset for that branch.
Another thing that could use a little explanation is how to insert
branches correctly when the branch contains a heading. This is what I mean.
I have a document will be printed in two or three different formats.
Some versions of the document will show different headings/text. So what
I did was this:
- I created my text normally
- I Went back and selected the text I wanted, then did Insert Branch
This cause a branch to be inserted, but the formatting was off. The
LaTeX code was
\section{}
Which caused a number, with no text, to appear on the page. Not very
good. After putzing around a bit, I realized that when you insert a
branch, the format of the paragraph where you do the Insert /must/ be
standard. Then, you do any extra paragraph formatting inside the inset.
An explanation of this might be useful in the User's Guide also.
Thanks,
L
