With ten minutes of googling I couldn't figure out what virtual nodes correspond to, in the context of Emacs (modulo the somewhat irrelevant Info's virtual-nodes), besides them sounding like something vaguely useful in implementing the feature I had in mind. Virtual regions (a presentation of something of synthetic nature, which is not directly backed by a buffer's region) sound exactly like the best building block I'd imagine for the implementation of the said feature. I did refer to the concept of 'partial order', a graph-theoretic structure indeed. I did so to illustrate the difference with the usual tree, where no branches ever join, so none of them ever share identical children. I did not refer to including text in export, I'm more interested in the editing of the partial order. -- regards, Samium Gromoff -- "Actually I made up the term 'object-oriented', and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind." - Alan Kay (OOPSLA 1997 Keynote) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
