    <p><strong>See updated input and output data at Edit-1.</strong></p> <p>What I am trying to accomplish is turning</p> <pre> + 1 + 1.1 + 1.1.1 - 1.1.1.1 - 1.1.1.2 + 1.2 - 1.2.1 - 1.2.2 - 1.3 + 2 - 3 </pre> <p>into a python data structure such as </p> <pre><code>[{'1': [{'1.1': {'1.1.1': ['1.1.1.1', '1.1.1.2']}, '1.2': ['1.2.1', '1.2.2']}, '1.3'], '2': {}}, ['3',]] </code></pre> <p>I've looked at many different wiki markup languages, markdown, restructured text, etc but they are all extremely complicated for me to understand how it works since they must cover a large amount of tags and syntax (I would only need the "list" parts of most of these but converted to python instead of html of course.)</p> <p>I've also taken a look at tokenizers, lexers and parsers but again they are much more complicated than I need and that I can understand.</p> <p>I have no idea where to begin and would appreciate any help possible on this subject. Thanks</p> <p><strong>Edit-1</strong>: Yes the character at the beginning of the line matters, from the required output from before and now it could be seen that the <strong><code>*</code></strong> denotes a root node with children, the <strong>+</strong> has children and the <strong>-</strong> has no children (root or otherwise) and is just extra information pertaining to that node. The <strong><code>*</code></strong> is not important and can be interchanged with <strong>+</strong> (I can get root status other ways.) </p> <p>Therefore the new requirement would be using only <strong><code>*</code></strong> to denote a node with or without children and <strong>-</strong> cannot have children. I've also changed it so the key isn't the text after the <strong><code>*</code></strong> since that will no doubt changer later to an actual title.</p> <p>For example </p> <pre> * 1 * 1.1 * 1.2 - Note for 1.2 * 2 * 3 - Note for root </pre> <p>would give </p> <pre><code>[{'title': '1', 'children': [{'title': '1.1', 'children': []}, {'title': '1.2', 'children': []}]}, {'title': '2', 'children': [], 'notes': ['Note for 1.2', ]}, {'title': '3', 'children': []}, 'Note for root'] </code></pre> <p>Or if you have another idea to represent the outline in python then bring it forward.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
