PyEnchant questions about local dictionary

Looking in the LeoSettings.leo file, I find the following node: Spell Checking Leo's spell checker requires PyEnchant to be installed. See: http://www.rfk.id.au/software/pyenchant/tutorial.html#installation That link returns a 404 error. I believe the correct link s/b: http://pythonhosted.org/pye

Setting a type for headlines

Hi, I'm pretty new to Leo. If a larger python file (with classes, methods, etc. as separate headlines) is shown in the outline pane, is there any way to differentiate their appearance, i.e. by color, so it would be easier to tell classes from methods or modules? -- You received this message

Basically, IMHO, people are not interested in tools, benefits, outliners etc. They are interested in solutions to their problems. Show how you can develop a Django project (or a website, or any application) faster, cleaner, cheaper with Leo than with other tools. Show realistic (medium size exa
