Read the history of Leo

Leo's history is intriguing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading everything except the change log section. Leo's history goes beyond the mere development of LEO; it encompasses a journey of discovery, enlightenment, and abstract transformation. I look forward to delving further into this reflective piece in the future. Thank you, Edward. If someone  haven't had the chance to read this document, I have included a few excerpts for your enjoyment:

- I saw clearly that typesetting, no matter how well done, is no substitute for explicit structure.
- much of the design work is not reflected in the code, because improved design often eliminated code entirely.
- Furthermore, I could make @doc directive optional if the body pane started in “code mode”. But this meant that plain body text could become a program! This was an amazing discovery.
- “We can use the following convention to determine where putDocPart has inserted line breaks: A line in a doc part is followed by an inserted newline if and only if the newline is preceded by whitespace. This is an elegant convention, and is essentially invisible to the user.
- That’s the nature of big Aha’s: they obliterate previous ways of thought so completely that it’s hard to remember the time before the Aha.

Thanks for the summary :-)

Thanks for the update, Edward.

History is not history only, it is also a clue for what's important commands which readers can't miss, like `cff`, `git diff` etc. :-D

You're welcome.

Exactly. I enjoyed the work of distilling all the release notes.
