I've installed CrossLine and read CrossLineDemo.cldb, but can't find anything that might be described as transclusion. The "Transclusion" outline in CrossLineDemo.cldb is just a copy of a Wikipedia page and does not mention CrossLine. Because the outline named "Ecco Pro" says, "Data is stored as discrete objects, and can be dragged as dynamic links to multiple folders creating cross references," I tried in CrossLine to drag an item to a different folder or a different outline, but no joy.
Can someone explain how CrossLine enables transclusion?
- walterbell 2y agoHaven't installed CrossLine recently, maybe file a github issue for docs/faq? Drag-and-drop might have OS-specific quirks. 2018 comment by the developer suggests pasting, https://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/8438/0/crossline--an-outliner-with-cross-link-capabilities-in-the-tradition-of-ecco-pro https://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/8438/0/crossli... > if the outline is in the same repository, CrossLine supports live transclusion, i.e. the transcluded items immediately update when the source is changed; if the outline is in a different repository, the item is pasted as a static link, i.e. the text is pasted and doesn’t change unless you manually change it (CTRL+SHIFT+L). Live transclusion links have a blue background color while static links have normal background, blue font and are underlined. > Note that there are two ways of transcluding: either as alias items or inlined items. You can create the former by selecting one or more items, then clicking on the handle of the item under which you want the alias, then CTRL+SHIFT+V; the latter are simply created instead by pasting into the text of another item.
