Some of Leo's recent documentation files use @language md. See this FAQ entry <http://leoeditor.com/FAQ.html#how-can-i-create-and-use-markdown-files>. As mentioned in this FAQ, I use @button make-md-heads to generate a TOC. Perhaps this process could be automated.

I have been thinking of "borrowing" the IPython Qt Console approach. Iirc, there are many complex details behind the scenes involved in piping the results to the console. Such details may be simpler within Leo, or not. In any event, the general goal is to make *all* rendering as simple as possible in Leo. This is why I am proposing that we read the users manuals for other systems, looking for *goals*. Only after we have a clear idea of what we want does it make sense to look into how to do it. This was an Aha that came to me on vacation. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
