Sure. It's easy to do the pre-writing in a more informal style, and it's
easy to revise once one ha
For use in the documentation, I think I should remove the first-person
references and some of the history - @Edward, would you agree? I could
also apply formatting and image insertion using RsT - I assume the docs
will be produced with Sphinx, is that right?

I need to add an important caution in case you may want to copy a card-case
node or tree to some other location, such as a different outline. **MAKE
SURE* that you paste them *AS A CLONE*.* When you use an ordinary paste,
the new nodes are given new gnx values - those crucial node ids. Since
I will do that. I developed these posts in a Leo outline, so everything is
there except the attachments, which I could zip together with the outline.
Or maybe I can import them into an outline.

If you should ever want to export your data from Leo, Leo can do that for
you. Leo's ordinary file saving methods will save your entire tree of
cards. If you follow the format suggested by my previous post, the
resulting file will be easy to parse if you want to adapt it to some other
system.
The card-case system needs each card to have a unique and permanent id
number. This id is used for finding cross-referenced cards. Leo creates a
unique id for each node, so I decided to use this identifier, known as a
*gnx*. An example gnx is *tom.20210521095407.1*. This id can be extracted
Over a year ago we had a long thread on the "Zettelkasten" system:
https://groups.google.com/g/leo-editor/c/TqiNdBfnEig
To briefly reprise, a *zettelkasten* is a system for capturing and
cross-linking of knowledge. The term can be translated as "card case", and
the original - or at least the o
