* Some apps will trim white spaces at start or end of line on import.

* I would say might be best not to leave title blank, text att being blank should be ok for most if not all app imports.

* Same with data format, definitely needs title, I would include text too even if followed by a blank data holder =”” just in case some apps need it for import

* I have bookmarked CrossLine to play with later on. Interesting ideas on html outlining.
I always thought html outliner tags, ul ol li dl, could be packaged together in some nice app as a universal outlining format, with nice code folding. But most devs rather invent their own formats. Would be great if a minimum number of tags could be chosen to do that, sort of universal outlining gateway.
