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

  • code block highlighting
  • pre blocks... correct language:
    • plaintext
    • language-powershell
    • ...idea: have a default "language" for each folder?

  • Collapsible menus treemap
  • title of pages to be shown on page (not just the friendlified file name).
  • toc - expandable at top of page

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)
