Thanks for the clarification. >From what you wrote, I take it that no form of rich text support (whether Microsoft's RTF or otherwise) is going to be added *natively* to Leo (i.e. excluding plugins). Of course, this is your choice as developers, but allow me to point out that this limits considerably the chances of Leo to compete with other applications such as Notecase and the like.
What I would love to see is a *native* implementation of some form of rich text (at the very least: font colors, sizes, italic, etc - that is, the basics) within Leo. Only then would I be willing to adopt Leo as my main production tool. Having the export tools (to HTML and to RTF) are not good enough, because what I need is to be able to *see* the projected outcome visually on the screen, while I am working on it. I think the question ultimately boils down to: do we want to keep Leo as a strictly (or 'mostly') programmer's tool, or should we be also looking at at wider range of uses, such as information storage (PIM and the like) and text production tool? >From what I understand, Leo has the potential of serving a wide range of purposes, and it is a pity to see its power restrained. Just adding some (native) support for rich text, in whichever form, will be a great improvement. I only hope that the developer does not fail to see how crucial is the point I am making, as it may determine the future success or failure of Leo. --------------------------------------------- On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 3:38 PM, Edward K.
