Ciao Mark, some observations, then some questions ... *Renaming Tools... *Right. But on the upside several tools already exist the enable working with renaming and list field management. Yeah you need to make sure you backed up, both tiddlers & tag list field, at this time. For instance, I did some testing using crude passing of arguments to Tiddler Commander that worked well for my use cases. Of course you don't need a heavyweight tool like that. I also tested with a tool written by Riz that you use to rename tiddlers in batch vis export to JSON then re-import. Worked okay for my slrict "Crusoe" numbering. Point is both tests are proof of concept of using independent utilities that exist can work with Noto. *"Document Focus"... *The way I'm using it is to think of it as a "document maker". Its shifted my concept of what you can do in T W more towards how I actually write. I did several tests transcluding Noto Instances into a "document template" structure. The idea was to have Noto both maintain both the "document content" and the "type of document template and styles". In time I give another example so this is clearer. Point being is Noto is not just an outliner, its a generic "context editor" -- in other words all "fragments" are in place as you work. That is brilliant. > Just thinking, maybe what's really needed is a different tag button that > would show the first line of text. That sounds neat! IF complex rearrangements are needed. *15 - Moving Controls in Bottom Edit Bar ...* But, for myself, just *from the bottom edit bar to have an "up" arrow and a "down" arrow* (I assume it would work by transposing the positions of two adjacent tiddlers in list field?) would be enough. * Question: On indent & Styling* I been trying understand how the indents work in the Outliner Version. Am I right in thinking its done using styles that indent the content of the Tiddler? With styles set by the level number set in a field of each Tiddler? If so its an ingenious approach that gets round the nesting problem of <li> spanning Tiddlers (they break). Right?
