Hi Eliot, The problem with drag and drop in the outliner is that sometimes you want to move a node as a child of the destination and sometimes you want to move it as a sibling of the destination. In Oxygen we decided that if the destination node (the node on which you drop) is expanded the dropped node will be moved as child. If the destination is not expanded the dropped node will be moved as a sibling to the destination. So you have to drag the "Level 3" div over the "Level 2" div, hover it until the "Level 2" div collapses its children and drop. Another way to have finer control is to press the "Full tags" button from the Author toolbar and then drag and drop in author by dragging on the tag name of the div elements. While dragging the caret will follow the mouse hover and the insertion will be made at caret position. Like always, we are open to improvement suggestions.

I'm using Author mode to edit some long HTML documents.
I've run into the situation where I want to move a nested element out of its wrapper element and make it a sibling of the wrapper.
For example, consider this starting state:
<div><h1>Level 1</h1> <div><h2>Level 2</h2> <div><h3>Level 3</h3></div> </div> </div>
I want to take the "Level 3" div and move it so it is the sibling following the "Level 2" div.
Using the outline view, I can grab the inner div but when I try to move it past its containing div, nothing happens.
Is this possible to do with the outline view? I haven't noticed any other particularly convenient way to do this sort of structural rearranging.
Thanks,
Eliot
