Please test the branch and report any problems. *About the name, p.get_UNL* The more I think about this question, the more tricky it becomes. The PR previously did use the scheme you proposed. But I want p.get_UNL to change so that legacy code will use the *new *unls. In other words, the underlying issue is about compatibility, not names. *New methods* I'll create two new methods for use by plugins such as yours: *p.get_legacy_UNL* will return what g.get_UNL used to return. *p.get_short_legacy_UNL* will return a headline-oriented unl, omitting the file name component (everything up to and including the '#'). *Note: *g.findUNL never did anything useful with the file name! *Better searching* The new g.findGNX searches all open outlines for nodes with the given gnx. * g.findUNL can use the same scheme!* *Summary* p.get_UNL should return gnx-oriented unls so that existing code will automatically use non-breakable gnxs. I'll add p.get_legacy_UNL and p.get_short_legacy_UNL. I'll add expanded searching to g.findUNL, just as in g.findGNX. Please test your plugins. I'll fix any compatibility problems before merging the PR. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
