A macro lets you display the contents of an outline exactly as it would be displayed in Fargo.

<%reader (opmlUrl, font, fontSize, lineHeight)%>

Here's an example of the macro being used to display the source code of a Find command I've been working on for the menubar, one that finds the next occurrence of a string in the active outline. You can copy the text from the outline below straight into menubar.opml.

How to set it up

• Copy the outline text you want to share to the clipboard.

• Create a new outline, choosing New from the File menu.

• Paste the text into the outline. If there's an extra line, delete it.

• Chose Get Public Link from the File menu.

• Copy the URL to the clipboard.

• Paste it into a call to reader in this post, as shown below.

The exact code

• <%reader ("https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36518280/misc/codeExample.opml")%>

Notes

• It remembers how you have the outline expanded, so you can set it up so that it leads the reader to the parts you think they'll find most useful or interesting.

• It's very useful for code, but probably could be used for other applications.

• The last three parameters are optional. If they aren't specified, the values we use are: Arial, 16 and 24.

Styles

• You can override the style choices I made by including CSS in your <%customStylesScripts%> glossary entry. I separated out the styles from the code so that your styles take precedence.
