I have some documents with many branches. For example, when I write a
recommendation letter there are some shared elements across my letters
where I describe the class the student took with me, etc. The branches
handle which class the student took for me, whether they are undergrads
or grads, and whether they are applying to graduate programs or jobs.
My workflow is to copy a "base" letter, activate the relevant branchs,
and to then write the elements of the letter that are specific to the
student. In this workflow, I would find it useful to be able to
"flatten" the document, in the sense of deleting all branch insets that
are not activated, and dissolving all branch insets that are activated.
Note that this would work on the branch *inset* level since some insets
of the same branch might be activated and others not because of our
"invert" feature.
Would anyone else have use for such a workflow? I would guess not. But
would a patch likely be accepted that just implements the LFUN? I could
use the patch locally, so if someone prefers not to add such an uncommon
feature, I would understand.
If we decided to have branch inset layout() return Branch:<name>:active
or Branch:<name>:inactive, one could do that with something like
inset-forall Branch:*:active inset-dissolve
inset-forall Branch:*:inactive char-delete-forward
I guess there are some part of code that are not ready for that, but in
general it should work.
And branches could have a color/font that depends on the state.
