Text Tree is an outline based writer's tool. It is designed make structured, understandable documents easily and quickly. Text Tree has been found useful for story writing, FAQ creation, novel planning, manual writing, software support, biographies, and lesson planning.
What really sets Text Tree apart from other outliners is its export abilities. In other outliners, you make a outline of everything, then you have to cut and paste or go node by node to get your information out. Text Tree allows you to quickly export all or part of the information in your outline. For example, if you are organizing information to be displayed on the web, Text Tree can generate an html file with a table of contents to your information. You can see an example of raw html output from Text Tree in the Text Tree Manual, or how output can be integrated into a page by reading this very page.
For novel writing, lesson planning, or biographical work, the text file exports are more useful. In fact, Text Tree was origionally written so that I could have a tool that would help me follow the snowflake process of writing a novel. If you are unfamiliar with the snowflake method, it is a process in which you distill your project to a single idea, then expand the parts of that idea, and then expand those parts, etc. until you get to the nitty-gritty details. You then use the nitty-gritty details to write your work. Text Tree help you expand thos ideas in an outline, then allows you to export all that information, or just those nitty-gritty details. For more informationon how to follow the snowflake method with Text Tree, please watch the flash tutorial. The snowflake process was created by Randy lngermanson.
Text Tree also can import/export files from other outliners, including noterrific and Treepad lite. Other imports and exports will be added as they are requested.
