My problem is that I need 'intelligent' outlining. Ie.

child b
header a 


I'd like to be able to then fold in by level so I can choose to see only
header a's plus child b's, with child c's hidden or only header's and
then be able to unfold in same way. I find it a good way to write /
study. 


There's an outline panel in LyX-1.5 that will allow you to 
collapse/expand nodes as you like; not in the main work area though. But 
I think this is not really necessary... Try it!

My question is whether I can do this with Lyx or is an overkill? If it
is, any suggestions? I'm not going to be doing any proper DTP work.
