Always happy to see someone writing in a hierarchical format. Maybe one day everyone will wake up and start writing Engelbart-style tree documents[1].
Site feedback for you, John: I would appreciate if you linkified your name (in the header of the page), as well as the path "breadcrumbs" at the right hand side of the header. Otherwise I'm stuck chopping things out of the URL by hand to try and go up the path.
[1] For instance, see this online copy of "Augmenting Human Intellect" (AHI). https://dougengelbart.org/content/view/138/ https://dougengelbart.org/content/view/138/ Notice how all the paragraphs are explicitly arranged in a hierarchy. At Engelbart's research lab, all documents were circulated in such a format ... even public releases like AHI ... and they had software with capabilities similar to today's org-mode, or Workflowy, or Vim folds which let researchers browse/edit code and text with respect to the hierarchy ... I highly recommend reading the linked report.
