Hi Offray,
Something that I usually do, is to simply subclass MooseEntity to create the hierarchy of
my domain. I can then enjoy the moose panel to browse my model.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi,
Answering to myself: I have solved the code that selects the headers of the main tree.
The key is to create a new collection containing only node names. Here is the code:
"*************************"
| mainTree node1 node2 explorer headers |
mainTree := UbakyeNode
header: 'Arbol raíz'
body: ''.
node1 := UbakyeNode
header: 'Nodo 1'
body: 'Texto 1'.
node2 := UbakyeNode
header: 'Nodo 2'
body: 'Texto 2'.
mainTree
addNode: node1;
addNode: node2.
explorer := GLMTabulator new
title: (mainTree header).
explorer column: #tree;
column: #body.
headers := (mainTree children)
collect: [:node | node header].
explorer transmit to: #tree; andShow: [:a |
a tree
display: headers].
explorer openOn: mainTree.
"*************************"
Now I need to make the children sellectable, and that all the contents of the tree can be
updated with a shortcut.
I will keep you posted.
Cheers,
Offray

Hi again,
I will be using this thread to update my advances and questions about
how to build an outliner in Pharo Smalltalk. If there is a better method
like starting a new thread for particular questions, or a less narrative
style, please let me know.
The idea is to use the tools provided by Moose to build a quick outliner
that can be extended to suit my needs on academical writing. This is
kind of a strange approach in the sense that I'm not following the
tutorials with a predefined problems (make a game and so) but trying to
start with a real (in the sense of closer) problem (making an outliner)
and to see which knowledge I need to solve this necessity. In that sense
is more like the Freire's alphabetization of adults in Brazil.
So, the things I have done so far was to search for a good model to
start with. Something already done that can be used as scaffolding for
my outliner. The Help System seems like a good start for an outliner (in
fact it is already one), so I have taken the Help-Core system and start
to use it as a base for my project.
After that I have used the Moose browsers to build a simple interface,
as seen here:
http://mutabit.com/offray/static/blog/output/galleries/objetos/ubakye-brows…
The part I want to deal with is this:
===============
explorer := GLMTabulator new
title: (mainTree header).
explorer column: #tree;
column: #body.
explorer transmit to: #tree; andShow: [:a |
a tree
display: mainTree children ].
explorer openOn: mainTree.
===============
So, instead of "display: mainTree children" I need something that takes
the get names (headers) of the two nodes and the contents in the right
panel. For that I think that I need to learn some iterators. I have
already a "header" method for the nodes. Any clue would be appreciated
and I will keep you posted on my advances.
Cheers,
Offray

without more information, it is hard to stay. Try with STON and change
if that does not work :-). We have XML and JSON generators as well.
This is a kind of raw preview of I'm talking about:

Of course in this case, it is just a Help browser with a Playground
window over it, but I would like to have something like Playgrounds
inside the help browser. I was trying to build a custom browser with
Glamour, but seems that Help Browser already has the machinery I'm
looking for.
So my first question is how to use the Help Browser class as a template
for my outliner class? And can I put a Playground where the plain text
is located right now?

There is only one syntax for comments in Pharo. Instead of Markdown,
you might want to have a look at Pillar which is implemented in Pharo
and can generate Markdown (and html, and pdf) :
https://github.com/pillar-markup/pillar-documentation/
I have seen Pillar. Seems really interesting, but Pandocs markdown
support academic citation in several formats and I have already long
docs wrote on that format integrated in my workflow from Zotero and even
there is a growing community working on Scholarly Markdown[1][2] so I
would like to stick with it as much as I can for my own writing.
That being said. I would like also a better integration between
Smalltalk outliners and all the academic publication work flow,
including working better with pandoc as a external library.
