7.8 Cell Attributes

Attributes are named variables whose values are specific to a particular outline cell. Thus, each cell has its own attribute list. Every cell has three standard attributes:

@bullet{idstamp}

The permanent id of the cell, typically used in cross-file hyperlinks that reference the cell.

@bullet{creator}

The e-mail address of the person who created this cell.

@bullet{create-time}

The time at which the cell was created. This is stored in a form that allows for easy data comparisons but is displayed in a human readable format, such as "Jan 28 18:27:59 CST 1994".

{C-c C-i} is the command to add an attribute to or to modify an existing attribute in the cell at point. Think of it as inserting an attribute value. To remove an attribute from cell, set its value to nil.

The `no-fill' attribute is special. When added with a non-nil value, it prevents moving, promoting, demoting, exchanging, splitting and appending cells from refilling the cell, even if the variable, kotl-mode:refill-flag, is set to t. It does not prevent you from invoking explicit commands that refill the cell. See section 7.5.4 Filling.

The attribute lists for the cells in the tree rooted at point can be displayed by pressing the Assist Key within the contents of a cell.

{C-c h} prompts for a cell label and displays the cell's attributes. {C-u C-c h} prompts for a cell label and displays the attributes for it and its subtree; use 0 as the kcell id to see attributes for all visible cells in the outline.
