Tkoutline

Tkoutline software represents a single pane, cross-platform outline editor written in Tcl/Tk.

With this editor, information can be structured hierarchically in an outline and outlines can be hyperlinked together to create a web of outlines.

Here are some key features of "Tkoutline":

￭ Cross-platform: runs anywhere Tcl/Tk runs (I have used it on linux and Windows and it has been reported to work on Mac OS 9.2) ￭ Multiple outlines supported using a tabbed notebook interface ￭ Inter-outline hyperlinks using wiki syntax (see Wiki-like hyperlinked outlines) allowing for the creation of a web of outlines. ￭ Hyperlinking to parts of an outline ￭ External URL hyperlink support ￭ Support for bold, italics, underline, and strikethrough formatting ￭ Drag and Drop movement of nodes ￭ "Size" of each collapsed node is displayed ￭ Available as a single file "starpack" distribution (standalone executable), or two file "starkit" distribution. No installation needed. ￭ Relatively small--can fit on a single floppy disk. ￭ Export to ascii, html, xml, opml ￭ Import from indented text, opml ￭ Save subtree, load tree as subtree ￭ Key bindings are externally configurable ￭ Mode-less - i.e. there isn't a separate mode for editing vs. for navigating the outline headlines. ￭ User scriptable.

Behaves similar to a text editor: ￭ Headlines are alway "active" and cursor movement between headlines is smooth ￭ Headlines can be split at the cursor into two adjacent headlines by hitting the enter key ￭ Two adjacent headlines can be merged by hitting delete at the end of a line or backspace at the beginning of a line
