footnotes

7.6:

. the purpose of adde`markup

is to have language that functions like html

but is a little easier to read and write .

. hyperlinks are prefixed by [@]

and in-line code is prefixed by [!]

7.6: adde/markup/perhaps obsolete?:

. markup is sort of an obsolete idea,

as the editor should be smartly helping you markup with a gui,

and then encoding the markup with wordcode

so that markup is a form of etree (ast) .

... then again:

. markup is not obs' because there should be

an ascii representation for all etrees;

[12.16: because,

the realities may require at some point

the use of a plain text editor;

eg, viewing work on pda's and e'book readers

for which addx is not yet available or not allowed .

]

6.12:

. footnotes are like hyperlinks,

so they should use the word[@]link syntax,

but instead of cluttering up the sentence,

it should use a sort of footnoting,

where the link info is deferred to the end

of the sentence, paragraph, or page .

7.7:

. here is a discrete way to do both hyperlinks and footnotes:

[((phrase to footmark))][]

. the box [] tells you that the previous lexical element

is a deferred link,

so then at the end of the line or paragraph

there is the "([@] { ...}) showing the list of footnotes .

. they are matched 1-to-1,

so that the nth [] is linked to the nth item in the [@]-list .

12.16:

. one problem ignored by the above idea

is that a good markup language will rarely conflict with

the language it's embedded in;

eg, you'll see "([]) a lot in c code .
