Leo will let you have a node without a headline - that is, the name of the node - but I think that's asking for trouble, so I always give it a name. These names are very helpful when you scan a group of zettels, and when searching. So for me, I always want a node name, and I consider that to be the title of the zettel, I don't have to type it into the zettel itself. If you want to type in a stream of consciousness manner, then it would be easy to write a script to split the text into separate nodes. The script would need some way to know where to split. That could be, say, two blank lines in a row - if you will never use two blank lines for anything else - my preferred marker of '===========================', or something similar. The script would not be able to divine a name for the new nodes, though. So you still would need some way to designate that. The easiest thing would be to use the first line after the marker as the title. This wouldn't be too intrusive for you, would it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
