Sounds like you are describing a DSE, Domain Specific Editor, which would be customized for the requirements of a framework such as Sphinx or Django. A myLeoSettings.leo file would contain buttons, menus, commands, bindings etc. specific to the project.
Not too simple, not feature overwhelming, just right. The fs tree generator sounds like the 'skeleton' concept https://pypi.python.org/pypi/skeleton/ On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 9:56 PM, Davy Cottet <cottet.d...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks every one for your contribution to this subject. > I have to accept that I got a bit lost on the discussion about databases > ;)... anyway, i got a lot of useful informations there. > > - @Edward : > "At present, Leo's core rst related code is, of course, based on > reStructuredText, not sphinx.
