Koutliner
The Hyperbole outliner, the Koutliner (pronounced Kay-outliner), produces structured, autonumbered documents composed of hierarchies of cells. Each cell has two identifiers, a relative identifier indicating its present position within the outline and a permanent identifier called an idstamp, suitable for use within hyperlink references to the cell. The idstamp is typically not displayed but is available when needed. See Autonumbering.
Cells also store their time of creation and the user who created the cell. User-defined attributes may also be added to cells. See Cell Attributes.
This chapter expands on the information given in the EXAMPLE.kotl file included with Hyperbole. Use {C-h h k e} to display that file, as pictured on the following page. It is an actual outline file that explains major outliner operations. You can test out the viewing, editing and motion commands with this file since a personal copy is made when you invoke this command. If you have already edited this file and want to start with a fresh one, give the command a prefix argument: {C-u C-h h k e}.
See Koutliner Keys, for a full summary of the key bindings and commands available in the Koutliner.
