The Guide - Because Knowledge Grows On Trees (Freeware)
Comments (View)

The Guide allows you create documents (“guides”) which inherently have a tree and text associated with each node.
The text itself is of the rich-text variety, and the editor allows you to modify the style and formatting of the text (fonts, bold, italics etc). For the initiated, the Guide is a two-pane extrinsic outliner. This concept is similar to mindmapping in some ways.
Here are some interesting features of The Guide:
- Clean, Simple UI - Intutive, unbloated.
- Rich text, with lots of formatting options, including colors, various numbering styles, bulleting and line spacing.
- Unicode Support - Correctly handles text in all languages.
- Search entire tree (or a subtree) for matching text.
- Hyperlinks to other nodes, files, directories, e-mails or URLs.
- Change foreground and background colors of text, nodes and tree/text panes.
- Adorn your trees with icons, checkboxes or both.
- Small and Portable - Just 1 MB installation file (v2.0). Fully supports portable mode — carry it with you on your USB stick.
- Context-sensitive Status Bar.
- Insert current date (Ctrl+D) and time (Ctrl+T) while editing text or node titles. Formats are fully configurable:
- Export to a single RTF (rich text format, can be opened in Microsoft® Word) file, with configurable heading styles. Entire document, a single node, or the selected subtree can be exported.
