en

en is a tool to write non-linear, connected pieces of text and have their references mapped out as a graph of connected information.

It works by ingesting a TOML file containing your node specification and serving it as a website that allows nodes to be browsed, searched and listed in relation to each other or as a shallow tree of nodes.

Roadmap

• Add tests
  • Improve content syntax parser coverage
• Redirects
• Richer text formatting
  • Headers
  • Preformatted blocks
  • Inline code
  • Anchor rendering
    • Automatic anchors
    • Plural anchors (|node|s -> node)
    • Conjugation anchors (|will|ed -> will)
    • Spaced node anchor (|red fox| -> redfox -> RedFox)
    • TOML allows only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores in node IDs. This means trailing punctuation such as in panther|Panthera, could be automatically split
    • # syntax for header ID anchors
  • External anchors
  • Bold, italics, underline, strikethrough
  • Lists
  • Checkboxes
