While SilverBullet is not a “proper” outliner like e.g. LogSeq, it does offer a useful commands to manage outlines.

An outline is simply a (nested) bulleted list, for instance:

• Introduction
  • Context
  • Problem space
  • Solution space
• Problem statement
  • Problem A
    • Sub problem 1
    • Sub problem 2
  • Problem B
  • Problem C
• Related work
  • Area A
  • Area B
  • Area C
• Solution
• Conclusion
