Very nice, thanks for that! Definitely a keeper. Takes the biscuit so far as the lightest and simplest.

For my current task though I’ll stick with The Guide, as it has the added benefit of rich text formatting (nice to be able to add bold and colour highlights), and it also has the icons for nodes and checkboxes, which come in handy when dealing with text fragments that need to be revisited.
