Introduction

freeplane-python-io is a Python library for creating and updating Freeplane mindmap files (.mm).

A typical use would be to automate parsing of mindmap files for any structured information or todo items, then creating representations (presentations) and reports in other file formats or for specific platforms like PPTX , Confluence, JIRA, … . It might help for any information processing task where the user or developer does not want to sit in front of the computer screen. But wants scripting means to takes over and generate high quality information output especially within recurring processes.

This user guide is tutorial in nature, introducing concepts along with code examples that we hope will allow any reader to learn what is needed while addressing the real-life information management challenges based on mindmap sources.
