Leo: Leonine Editor with Outlines

Leo is:

• An outliner. Everything in Leo is an outline.

• A Personal Information Manager.

• A browser with a memory.

• A powerful scripting environment.

• A tool for studying other people’s code.

• A fully-featured IDE, with emacs-like commands.

• Extensible via a simple plugin architecture.

• A tool that plays well with IPython, vim and xemacs.

• Written in 100% pure Python

• Compatible with Python 2.6 and above or Python 3.0 and above.

Leo’s unique features:

• Always-present, persistent, outline structure.

• Leo’s underlying data is a Directed Acyclic Graph.

• Clones create multiple views of an outline.

• A simple, powerful, outline-oriented Python API.

• Scripts and programs can be composed from outlines.

• Importers convert flat text into outlines.

• Scripts have full access to all of Leo’s sources.

• Commands that act on outline structure. Example: the rst3 command converts outlines to reStructuredText.

• @test and @suite scripts create unit tests automatically.

• @button scripts apply scripts to outline data.

• Outline-oriented directives.

Simulating these features in vim or Emacs is possible, just as it is possible to simulate Python in assembly language…
