I was asked to resubmit this new edition that I announced in HN as it got finished on 2019-04-25: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19745517 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19745517 The process took around a month in my spare time, and involved copy-and-pasting the OCR plain text, then marked up as DocBook XML, then converted with my own XSLT stylesheets into HTML5. There were many transcription mistakes, some from OCR from the 35 year old daisy-printer monospace printout, some were in that printout because of electrical noise in the printer serial line in 1986. I fixed those I found by hand, then a couple of readers have reported others. Since then I’ve corrected more OCR errors, and polished a bit more the HTML rendition. From the introduction to this edition: “It features an instance of Douglas Engelbart’s implicit links, automatically linking all appearances of certain terms to their definitions elsewhere in this document. This is done through a Javascript function that operates on the HTML content from the web server. It also shows his structural statement numbers, those little labels to the right of each paragraph that allow high resolution linking.” Doug Engelbart was not part of Xanadu, although he was a close friend of Ted Nelson for decades. It’s just that those aspects of his NLS (of 1968 “Mother of all demos” fame) fit well this document, and work relatively well on web browsers. I did try to implement transclusion as an example, but the target web server did not provide a CORS header and browsers refuse to load their content. This document goes into detail about the addressing scheme for documents (https://sentido-labs.com/en/library/201904240732/Xanadu%20Hypertext%20Documents.html#tumblers-and-humbers https://sentido-labs.com/en/library/201904240732/Xanadu%20Hy...), the enfilade data structure (https://sentido-labs.com/en/library/201904240732/Xanadu%20Hypertext%20Documents.html#enfilade https://sentido-labs.com/en/library/201904240732/Xanadu%20Hy...), their then-future plans, etc.
