What is The Guide?
The Guide organizes information in a tree rather than a flat list of documents. Its two-pane layout pairs a hierarchy of pages with a rich-text editor, so you can group related notes beneath a topic and work on one page at a time. It is intended for structured information management, such as keeping reference notes or developing an outline.
This entry links to the Windows EXE installer for version 2.0, whose SourceForge release file is dated December 13, 2008. A ZIP package is listed separately by the project. Treat this as a legacy application: the available evidence does not establish Windows 10 or 11 compatibility or current maintenance. The screenshot illustrates the older Windows interface and its Preferences dialog; the exact version pictured is not established.
What it offers
- Group information into parent and child pages in a tree.
- Edit page content using a rich-text editor beside the outline.
- Use the Preferences dialog to configure startup, autosave and backup options shown in the source screenshot.
Good to know
- The selected 2.0 release file dates to 2008; current maintenance and Windows 10/11 compatibility are not established by the available sources.
- The gallery screenshot shows an older Windows interface; its exact application version is unknown.
