Leo : Basics Derived Files Part 1

Next we will tangle (derive) the file. This will cause Leo to

1. Create the file "sampleHello.c"
2. Write all of the text following the @root line into the sampleHello.c file.

However, the text of this node contains section names. Section names are indicated by the << >> angle brackets. In place of the section names, Leo will write out to sampleHello.c the text of the named section.

This operation is called tangling because the section names in the node text do not have to be in the same order as they are in the outline. So, the order of the text in the derived file can be different than the order of the text as it appears in the outline.
