Leo: Leonine Editor with Outlines
Project description
Leo is:
An outliner. Everything in Leo is an outline.
A Personal Information Manager.
A browser with a memory.
A powerful scripting environment.
A tool for studying other people’s code.
A fully-featured IDE, with emacs-like commands.
Extensible via a simple plugin architecture.
A tool that plays well with IPython, vim and xemacs.
Written in 100% pure Python
Compatible with Python 2.6 and above or Python 3.0 and above.
Leo’s unique features:
Always-present, persistent, outline structure.
Leo’s underlying data is a Directed Acyclic Graph.
Clones create multiple views of an outline.
A simple, powerful, outline-oriented Python API.
Scripts and programs can be composed from outlines.
Importers convert flat text into outlines.
Scripts have full access to all of Leo’s sources.
Commands that act on outline structure. Example: the rst3 command converts outlines to reStructuredText.
@test and @suite scripts create unit tests automatically.
@button scripts apply scripts to outline data.
Outline-oriented directives.
Simulating these features in vim or Emacs is possible, just as it is possible to simulate Python in assembly language…
