--- Comment #10 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
@Heiko, Jim, all: Note also that we are talking about outline *mode*, which
might be slightly different conceptually from simply collapsing/expanding that
had been implemented yet. The outline *mode*, which includes
collapsing/expanding *as part of it*, is a separate mode with a separate
workflow, which is illustrated here. Of course, if you focus on just
collapse/expand functionality, then this dragging elements around might look
"unnecessary" - but then the essence of the different workflow, which is all
that Outline mode is about, is destroyed.

So please think about Outline *mode* and its distinct workflow again, which is
about being able to rearrange elements - which are paragraphs and chapters -
freely, like cards on a table. So partly what is asked here is like assigning
an outline level to *every* paragraph in the document.

And yes, this indeed needs a separate mode, without pages (see tdf#135307),
because the focus here is not on layout, but on structure, and trying to layout
the structure in this process, with its partially visible data, is misleading.
