That would give you the ability to change the look of a large number of documents just by changing the rules they include. "></outline>

				<outline created="Sat, 10 Mar 2012 17:21:40 GMT" pgfnum="6241" text="When you change the rules and refresh the page you may not see any effect. That's because the worldoutline caches the rendering of the outline and won't re-do it until you save it. "></outline>

			<outline created="Sat, 10 Mar 2012 17:22:35 GMT" pgfnum="6243" text="Why the parens?">
				<outline created="Sat, 10 Mar 2012 17:22:38 GMT" pgfnum="6244" text="We require them, although there's no technical reason we have to. I did it this way because otherwise you'd have to be super careful not to put the name of the rules in your document. They would be substituted, just like any glossary entry. "></outline>
				<outline created="Sat, 10 Mar 2012 17:24:21 GMT" pgfnum="6245" text="Also there must be at least one space between the word &quot;rules&quot; and the left paren. You can have as much whitespace as you want before and after the parens. "></outline>
