Qt section seriously needs to be toned down.

It's way, way too big. It's longer than anything except the "other libraries" list. This lends Qt far too much weight; it makes it appear that Qt is a big part of C++, when it's really nothing more than another library. If there needs to be a Qt outline, so be it, but that stuff should go there and not here. Korval (talk) 08:58, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 23:52, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
