ANN: Leo 4.1 final

[max khesin]

Hi Ed, people,
I am aclually trying to set up a Leo-based documentation project right 
now (though I am pretty new to it). Are there any previous case-studies 
on people doing documentation? In particular I am interested in being 
able to embed Leo node links directly in another node's text (for 
automatic HTML generation). I know I can do it through programming (or 
XSLT...brrrr....), but I am really trying avoid re-inventing the wheel 
due to the project's time constraints. Any info would help.

thanks,
max.
