So, I am a little confused. I guess i have assumed that "inline" means the node would lose the button on the right and instead have an output port so that it becomes and inline node (perfect for avoiding the cloning of large message data)?

Obviously I checked the built in help but it links to your github page which does not clear this up.

PS: It is not ideal for docs to be an external link. air gapped installations would have no information on how to use your node. There is a documentation guide that can help you structure docs here: [Node help style guide : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/help-style-guide) you can even write them in markdown Since NR 2.1.0 (which greatly simplifies the task)

The above was using V1.1.3 of log-io node
