Generating hyperlinks for glossaries and other parsers in emacs
TL;DR:
Build a wiki, but far more powerful
- I would like to be reminded of things as I read, like a wiki, but better.
- I would like to see a glossary of the words I have learned.
- I would like to know at a moment’s glance what I have already read and understood.
- I would like to be reminded of important things as I’m having a conversation.
Great for
- Reading books
- Keeping and navigating a glossary extremely easily
- Procedurally/generatively navigating text (the applications are endless)
Enter, emacs
Demonstration
The shell
Grep will return the byte positions of the definitions.
