Hi Tony, you mean, like a full-blown outline, right? If that's so, I think, maybe, we can use the TOC template for this. And instead of transcluding the title, we transclude the body of the text (while still following the tag-tree structure). What do you think?
My contribution in this will be slow during the weekdays (9 - 5 job + lots of overtime gets in the way) This is exciting stuff. I'm thinking of using this to write a novelette.
