Leo : Basics What is Leo

This tutorial has given you a brief introduction of Leo's:

- Outlining capacity
- Ability to create derived files.

These two things are the main features of Leo. However, there is much more to say about both of them:

- Outlining - see the Outlining tutorial in this series to see how Leo can be used to create outlines with multiple paths or views, making it a powerful tool for project planning or any kind of tree-based analysis.
- Derived files - we've seen the simple case of deriving a text file from a node. This give you the ability to collect a number of text files in one Leo outline. But Leo can do much more that that - Leo can extract not only node text, but also outline structure, and can then read back this embedded structure. For a look at this feature and why it is so useful, particularly for programmers, see the next tutorial in this series: What is Leo - Continued. In addition, in the following tutorials you will see much more complex examples of derived files.
