Wow. This is incredibly cool. My favorite thing is being able to type in HTML source into the headings, just hit return, and see it instantly rendered. Would there be a way to do this with a text area instead of a field, so you could do the same thing with Web pages? That way you could enable a kind of "edit-in-place" when you go to Edit this Page, and would be able to have a full HTML source editor.Right now my goal is to create outline based, group to do lists. I've kept my to do lists in outlines for years - now I need to share them. Pike is an option - I want to see if I can get this to work first.
I've thought of ways to avoid the html forms altogether - and that may be a nicer way to get multi-line lines.
The downside is speed... loading the page locally takes about 20 seconds on my G3/250. Perhaps Mozilla's JavaScript interpreter will be faster? I tried loading your outliner page there but it came up blank.
The issue is not the download speed - the page is only about 20k. I need to build all the DIVS I might possibly need before the page finishes loading. There's a bug in the browser that will not let me add DIVS after the page loads. Right now you are limited to 100 lines. I had it at 1000, but it forever ...
It was very fast until I needed the ability to create new lines :-(
