CodersNote = A basic outline for an NDA. Borrowing some terms from "TechContracts.com".
CodersNote = We start with the basic frame for an Agreement - header, parties, why, sections, signature.

sec =
  1. {Prime.Sec}
  2. {Def.Sec}
  3. {General.Sec}
  4. {Misc.Sec}
CodersNote = We borrow TechContracts' notion of "Prime" clauses - the business terms.
Prime.Sec = {Prime.Ti}

  3. {IP.Sec}

  2. {Use.Analyze.Sec}
IP.Sec = {IP.Ti}
  1. {IP.Had.Sec}
  2. {IP.Make.Sec}
CodersNote = "Flow" is for the intended movement of information. Confide, Circulate, Copy, Return. Disclosure to a non-party is an unintended risk, handled in the General terms.
CodersNote = "Flow" is something like the notion of "Happy Path", what is supposed to happen with information confided by the Provider to the Recipient. Most of the rest is background or risk management.
Flow.Sec = {Flow.Ti}
  1. {Confide.Sec}
  2. {Circulate.Sec}

Doc.Ti = Non-Disclosure Agreement
Why.Ti = Whereas:
Among.secs/2 =
Among.Ti/2 = By and Between:
Among.Def.sec = Each a "{DefT.Party}" and collectively the "{_Parties}."
This.sec/2 = This {Doc.Ti} (this "{DefT.Agreement}") is made as of {EffectiveDate.YMD} ("{DefT.Effective_Date}"), by and between the {_Parties}.
Why.Ti = Recitals
That.sec = In consideration of the mutual promises contained in {_this_Agreement} and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the {_Parties} agree as follows:
By.Ti = Signature
Note = As with "Among," By assumes two parties but you can make more - By.secs={By.secs/3} or 4, etc.
By.0.sec = IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the {_Parties} have executed {_this_Agreement} as of the {_Effective_Date}.
By.secs/2 =
{P1.US.Contract.By.Sec}   {P2.US.Contract.By.Sec}
CodersNote = Section Headings
Prime.Ti = Primary Terms
Use.Ti = Use of Information
IP.Ti = Intellectual Property Rights
Flow.Ti = The Flow of Confidential Information
Confide.Ti = Scope and Methods of Confiding Information
Circulate.Ti = Circulation of Information by Recipient
Copy.Ti = Copies of Information Made by Recipient
Return.Ti = Return of Information by Recipient
ConfInfo.Ti = Confidential Information
Def.Ti = Definitions
General.Ti = General Terms
Misc.Ti = Miscellaneous Terms
CodersNote = Examples of Defined Terms as Links:
_Effective_Date = Effective Date
_Agreement = Agreement
_this_Agreement = this {_Agreement}
_Party = Party
_Parties = Parties
CodersNote = These terms are defined "inline" - in the text rather than in the Definitions section. That is a common device, though debatable as a best practice. We can make each use of the defined term link to the place in which the term is defined by using the device of a double include - the Def.Agreement.sec={_Agreement} provides an HTML target called Def.Agreement.sec.
Def.Effective_Date.sec = {_Effective_Date}
Def.Agreement.sec = {_Agreement}
Def.Party.sec = {_Party}
