Greetings Offray,

If you wish to define physical styles and use attributes in FreeMind you will
need the new Beta:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7118&package_id=188772

Of course, this is not considered stable for production so use at your own
risk! I agree with
you about the desirability of an outline option in TeXmacs. Outliners and
mind mappers really allow one to concentrate on the structure of a document,
but as I have said, rarely
can this be transferred to the completed article (pun intended).

Leo is a great tool too, if a little complicated. Please take a look at this
essay
template I created in FreeMind, hopefully it will give some idea as to how
FreeMind
could be used in conjunction with TeXmacs to write articles, books, etc. if
there was an import/export option.

Best wishes,

Hi all,

I use freemind and TeXmacs as primary tools on every day basis (both on
a basic level and even I didn't know that there is away to define
personal styles for nodes in freemind). I also use Leo[1] at lot for
workflows in my daily use of computers. What would be nice is to have
the possibility to define an outline view of TeXmacs documents in a
lateral bar, something that can show you the sections, subsections,
quotations, etc. You can make a sketch outline of your document there
including mathematical notation for titles and in general using the
enriched symbolic notation and writing that your thought need and then,
fill the outline with contents as you advance in your work.

There is any way to get this pane with a tree view of the document and
at the same time the document, so we can think in the part and the all
in easy ways, using TeXmacs?

Cheers,


Offray
