Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Compatible Outliner

Personally, for the kind of use you're describing, I would use a simple 
text editor that saves the document in a basic text-only form (ie: using 
.txt as the extension).  LibreOffice opens plain-text files with no 
problem, and there are various text editors available for both Linux and 
Android, probably including some that include outline-specific 
capabilities.

As for outline-specific software, I did a Google search and found an 
Android program named "Android Outliner" from a company called 
Startseite with a free version that appears to be able to export its 
output to .txt plain-text format.  I also found a program called 
"TreeLine 2.0" (http://treeline.bellz.org/index.html) that runs under 
Windows or Linux and apparently is a combination of outliner and pim.  
The website says it can import/export plain-text documents and that odf 
documents can be imported and exported as outlines.   (I personally know 
nothing more of these than what info I found on the web, and you may 
well be able to find better alternatives.)
