Quick Start
Tines runs in a shell.
Open a Terminal window (Command on Windows),
or a new tab in your existing Terminal.
If you have installed Tines in a well-known directory
(for example, /usr/local/bin
), enter tines
and press Return.
Otherwise, enter the path to the program
(on my computer, it would be ~/Projects/tines/src/tines
).
If you are familiar with hnb, just run Tines instead.
You can import your old .hnb
file
into the new default .tines
file, and delete the old .hnb
file.
If you've modified your .hnbrc
file, consider merging your edits
into the new .tinesrc
file.
You can use Tines to edit existing OPML (an interchange format for outliners), well-formed XML files, and tab-indented text files.
To edit an OPML file:
tines -o some_outline.opml
To edit a generic XML file:
tines -x file.xml
To edit a text file (this works with .tinesrc
, by the way):
tines -a file.txt
If you start Tines without specifying a file, it opens (or creates if needed) a file called .tines
in your home directory. This file contains a comprehensive Tines manual and some example data.
