Check out this thread on the DC forum regarding how to turn a plain text file into an outline using Notepad2-mod.
http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=36417.0

Download Notepad2-mod from here:
http://xhmikosr.github.io/notepad2-mod/

And tweak the settings like this:

And you will get an outliner like this one:

Could this be the simplest outliner out there yet?

Nice; if you like it, you might also want to check out Emeditor with the outliner plug-in.

installed and modified the settings, and now I see my test text file with proper indentations, and +/- symbols for “parent” lines. I can expand and collapse by clicking on the +/- signs.

does notepad mod provide ways to move lines up/down, promote/demote? keyboard shortcuts for expand/collapse?

Thanks. EmEditor’s outliner does look a lot more sophisticated (though it does come with a price tag).

looks like notepad2 provides shortcuts for expand/collapse and navigation, but nothing for move up/down/left/right?
