An index of improvements that could be made to this website.

Inbox

• Generate an 'index.html' under each topic folder that redirects to "/01_summary.html"
• Generate a 'what links here' section for each page.

• Improving What Links Here

    # What links here?
  
    ## What links to the topic: chocolatey?
  
    - Chocolatey
      - All chocolatey commands
      - Install chocolatey (aka choco)
      - To List the packages installed
      - Update a chocolatey package
    npm
      - Install npm
      - How do I list all globally installed NPM Packages?
    powershell
      - Replace a line in a file
  

  That's okay -- but the listed pages should list each page they link to... Possibly the pages of this topic could be listed on the right -- lit up by the number of things that link to them

• USE ChatGPT from Linqpad to index all the articles at TIL.

Other features that can be embedded in macros:

• next/previous buttons
  • a "next" link (and a previous) at each one...
• Ability to do "REDIRECT" for crappy pages I don't like.
• TIL Random - random article, or random within category

Auto Linting of the TIL

• more application of plaintext fenced code blocks.
• Linting: 404 check all internal .md references!
• make vs-code use tab (for markdown files, not for other files)
• improve scroll bars, and write them up while you're there
• improve mobile layout
  • lighthouse etc (elements too close together [in search bar])
• keywords are highlighted (what keywords? how are keywords added? i don't have keywords)
• keywords are inter-related.
  • many are put in an ignore list?
• code block extraction and listing
• hyperlink extraction and listing

Consider

• Squarified treemap of topics and items
• a page for showing details of embedded macros known to clowncar.
  • an improved meta language allowing these other meta features.
    • trivially pluggable meta language with other sub-languages (through the provision of named (and findable) language provider classes.)
    • i.e. zonk. This is pure zonk.

Done

• Collapsible menus treemap

8:37 AM Wednesday, 24 February 2021

• styling of internal, external and blank, mailto, and onpage links...
• a tag for including the {toc:} in the document. (not needed now that embedded header exists)
