[Vimoutliner] General question about outlining

[Noel Henson]

Yang,

You can do what you want. You will have to modify the comments syntax and 
possibly text wrapping settings. What you may want to investigate is 
otl2html. You can convert a VO outline into html. It supports numeric 
heading numbering and bullets. Keep in mind that VO is an outline editor 
that is supposed to be very high-speed, keyboarder friendly. When creating 
visually appealing outlines, it is customary to relay on a post-processor.  
My preference (not because I wrote it) is otl2html.py. You can find 
a stable version in the VO package and a beta version on my website 
www.noels-lab.com.

If this isn't what you had in mind or you don't find what you want at 
www.vimoutliner.org or www.noels-lab.com, let all of us know. You may have 
hit on a feature we should add to VO.

Thanks for using VO!
