This is a new kind of web outline

Time Loves a Hero#
- But only time will tell#
- If he's real #
- He's a legend from heaven#
- If he ain't he's a sinner from hell.#
This is an example of an outline#
- I have structured it deliberately using the outline structure.#
- There is no Markdown here, just outline structure and HTML.#
- This is a test: Scripting News.#
- Little Pork Chop#
The details#
- The attribute is #flMarkdown.#
- If it's an outline, and markdown is turned off, we use the outline renderer.#
- That's what makes sense.#
- Yes.#
Intuitive not intelligent#
- It's intelligent enough. If there are no subheads it knows that this should not be formatted as a headline.#
- However if there are subheads then it assumes it's a list.#
Here's a nice outline#
- Western states#
  - California#
  - Oregon#
    - Portland#
    - Eugene#
  - Washington#
- Mid-Atlantic states#
  - New York#
    - Albany#
    - New Paltz#
    - The Hamptons#
    - Brooklyn#
    - Buffalo#
    - Syracuse#
  - Pennsylvania#
    - Pittsburgh#
    - Philadelphia#
  - Delaware#
  - Maryland#
    - Baltimore#
    - Anapolis#
  - New Jersey#
    - Trenton#
    - Newark#
    - Princeton#
A few interesting tweets#

A list of things#
- Baseball glove#
- Stereo phonograph#
- Toyota Camry#
- Lawrence of Arabia#
- #
But then there's another paragraph and everything is back to normal. Until something appears underneath it then it becomes a headline again. You learn how to play with it, I guess.#
