As I can not click on Outline I can not know what this mean. I would thank
if somebody could tell me what of the following meanings, that appear in
the American Heritage Dictionary, is the correct one in this case:
07. A summary of a written work or speech, usually analyzed in headings
and subheadings.
12 A summary of a written work or speech, usually analyzed in headings and
subheadings.
15. A summary of a written work or speech, usually analyzed in headings
and subheadings.
7, 12, 15 (your dictionary is a bit redundant) ;-)
In this sense, an outline might look like this:
I. Introduction
A. First Topic
B. Second Topic
II. Section One
A. First Issue
i. First sub-issue
etc. I'm not sure any of the definitions, other than (7), quite get at
this meaning. But maybe one would call that a "formal outline" or
something of the sort.
