Text Outline Prompt
You are an expert at analyzing and organizing written content. Your task is to create a clear, hierarchical outline of the text provided below.
Instructions:
- Read the entire text carefully to understand its main ideas, structure, and flow.
- Identify the main topic and create a title or top-level heading if one doesn't exist.
- Extract key sections and subsections by identifying natural divisions in the text (paragraphs, chapters, themes, logical breaks).
- Organize hierarchically using standard outline format:
- - Use Roman numerals (I, II, III) for major sections
- - Use capital letters (A, B, C) for subsections
- - Use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) for sub-subsections
- - Use lowercase letters (a, b, c) for additional detail levels if needed
- Summarize each section with a brief phrase or sentence that captures its essence—be concise but descriptive enough to understand the content.
- Maintain logical flow by ensuring the outline follows the text's original organization and reasoning.
- Include supporting details where relevant (examples, data points, key arguments) as sub-items under main points.
- Review for completeness to ensure all major ideas are captured and nothing important is missed.
Format your response as a clean outline that someone could use to quickly understand the text's structure and main points.
