Export mind map as hiearchical CSV/RTF?
« on: September 18, 2007, 12:31:58 am »
hi

I just started using EA and am very impressed with the ease of use for so many features. it's a great tool!

lately, I started making mind maps, so I am wondering now if I could export them as hierarchical CSV or RTF.

in RTF, this would look like this:

---
Central Topic (Title)
1. Main Topic 1
1.1 Topic 1
1.1.1 Sub-Topic 1
- Notes of Sub-Topic 1
- related Note 1
- related Note 2
1.1.2 Sub-Topic 2
1.2 Topic 2
---

does anybody know how to achieve this?

thanks & regards
nicola

This sounds like something that would require a template specifically for mind maps.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing?

If not, can any of the Sparxians tell us if there are any plans to publish one?

No, you can't have it!

hi

another possibility: xslt-stylesheet, however writing one can be quite time consuming.

Quite agree, Nicola.

Often the front-end work pays off, but you have to be pretty sure you're going to reuse it - a lot if it is much more than trivial.
