I've been thinking that there should be a book on Leo.
Please take a look and let me know what you think, bearing in mind that it's a very preliminary and incomplete draft.
The first question most people would have would likely be: "Why should I care about yet another text editor?".
Keep checking back in with the link. I'm making frequent changes for the time being.
Hi Thomas,
This looks pretty good! Thanks for the document and the effort
behind.
The visual tour of what Leo is capable of is very compelling and a good showcase to new users about why to use Leo.
Keep the good work,
Offray

I've been thinking that there should be a book on Leo. I don't think I've got another book left in me, but I'm not completely happy with the existing docs because I don't think they really match what a new user faces when trying to fire up Leo and use it the first few times.

Hi Rob,
Thanks. I'd be grateful for your tips. It looks like I can probably get
a good start on point 2 (creating documents) with the "Creating
Documents from Outlines" tutorial[1], but if there are particular things
you've learned that would be helpful for a newbie, please share.
Learning more about how to use Leo to maintain a small website would be
great too. I currenly use a mix of HTML, Go templates, and pandoc for my
own site (I'm somehow never satisfied with static site generators out of
the box), but it seems like cloned nodes in Leo could go a long way to
making maintaining things like shared ``<head>`` sections easier, if I'm
understanding things right.

I don't think I've got another book left in me, but I'm not completely happy with the existing docs because I don't think they really match what a new user faces when trying to fire up Leo and use it the first few times.I'm a new Leo user -- I've been programming in Python for 5+ years, but somehow only recently managed to discover it -- and think something like this would be very helpful. The tutorials, documentation, and Edward's YouTube videos are great. But what I think might be really useful are some step-by-step examples of common user stories.For example:* I'm a developer working on a small-ish Python project that I collaborate on with other people. How can I effectively use Leo to start editing my existing code base? How should I go about breaking up parts of the existing code into an outline (without actually breaking things)?
