Rustree Rustree
Rustree is a notepad that stores text (in HTML format) in a hierarchical
structure.
(A document is a tree: it has a root node, which has child nodes,
which have child nodes, etc...)
After reading this short manual, you can easily create documents like this.
P.S. Use the tree on the left to navigate through the document
User Interface User Interface
- Main area
- Tree on the left
- Use it to navigate through the document
- Buttons above the tree
- Cut (click to cut the node) [Ctrl+X]
- Copy (click to copy the node) [Ctrl+C]
- Paste (click to paste the copied node into the selected node) [Ctrl+V]
- Use this large area on the right to view and edit the node
- You can resize them by dragging the border between them
- Tabs above the main area

- Resources (tab for managing resources)

Editing Editing
- You already know how to view a node, so let's now learn how to edit it.
When you select the needed node, double-click in the main area and the editor opens. Double-click again to close it.
- To create a node, click on Create node in Edit submenu or Insert
- To delete a node, click on Delete node in Edit submenu or Delete
- To move the selected node up, click on Move node up in Edit submenu or Alt+U
- To move the selected node down, click on Move node down in Edit submenu or Alt+D

Rustree has a history.
All actions below are recorded in the history and can be either undone or redone:
- Creating a node
- Deleting a node
- Cutting a node
- Pasting a node
- Moving a node up
- Moving a node down
To undo an action, press Ctrl+Z

Macros Macros
It looks like a macro in rust: macro!("argument")
At the moment there are only two macros that you can use:
- Resource
resource!("resource name")- Example:
<img src="resource!("image.jpg")">
- Reference
- Sibling node
resource!("sibling:node")- Example:
<a href="reference!("sibling:node")">link</a>
- Path
resource!("path:root/node/node")- Example:
<a href="reference!("path:root/node/node")">link</a>
Saving Saving
Press File/Save or Ctrl+S to save document.
Press File/Save as or Ctrl+Shift+S to save the document in another file.
Learn here how to export document to another format.
Resources Resources
Resources are files in a document and which can be used in it.
At the moment, only images can be resources.
Learn here how to embed an image into text.

Exporting Exporting
You can export the node and the document in these formats:
- HTML (not very good, but a document with simple formatting exports well. There are also no styles in the exported HTML file)
- Markdown (the node can be in markdown format (doesn't work very well) and in HTML format (works with GFL (GitHub Flavored Markdown)))
- Text (a document/node in the format
- Node\nContent\n- Node\nContent with the HTML tags removed)
- JSON (a document/node in JSON format for parsing)
For HTML and Markdown, you can enable the table of contents through the dialog after you start exporting.
