Leo’s unique features
Leo completely integrates Python scripting and outlines. Simulating the following features in Vim, Emacs or Eclipse is possible, just as it is possible to simulate Python in assembly language…
All commands and scripts have easy access to outline structure via a simple Python API.
For example, p.b is the body text of the selected outline node.
Scripts have full access to all of Leo’s sources.
Clones create multiple views of an outline.
Leo’s underlying data is a Directed Acyclic Graphs.
As a result, Leo organizes data in completely new ways.
Scripts and programs can be composed from outlines using outline-oriented directives.
Importers convert flat text into outlines.
@test and @suite scripts create unit tests automatically.
@button scripts apply scripts to outline data.
