Definition
提纲 (tí gāng) is a written outline or synopsis, a preliminary sketch of main points for a report, speech, or article. It is less formal than 大纲 (dà gāng, a structured comprehensive outline) and more focused on key points than 纲要 (gāng yào, condensed essentials). Unlike 轮廓 (lún kuò, 'silhouette' for shapes), 提纲 is for text.
