Very useful distinction. I would add that the 'content' outline maintains the integrity of the full text, whereas the 'structure' approach breaks it down to non-continuous blocks of text.
If I understand correctly what QDA software does, it also maintains the integrity of the text ('content' approach) while offering the ability to annotate it at a very detailed level (the 'entities' are very fine). Last but not least, unlike much of the 'content' software often discussed here, QDA software does not provide a writing/editing environment, but is limited to referencing. Is this correct?
