Re: Programmatically Creating Hyperbole Documents and Blocks

[Robert Weiner]

The Koutliner is a series of Lisp functions and commands (interactive 
functions) so you just study the doc of the functions and string together 
function calls as you like.  You must manipulate Koutlines via Lisp unless you 
want to write your own whole library.  Emacs can be run in batch mode, running 
a Lisp program as a script, so the whole thing is programmatic from the 
command-line.
