Sounds a lot like how I use Leo. I'm not a programmer either (unless you
count minimal scripting in LaTex). I write extensively in Leo (LaTex, HTML
and markdown mostly). I recently tried Scrivener, but quickly came back to
Leo after seeing that Pandoc will be easy enough for me to use. Don't
hesitate to ask, it's a great group and usually somebody can and will help.
If you haven't yet, try out the linking capabilities.
