I like it!
Clicking on a link and having a figure appear solves a small but real problem.
In mathematical papers it'd be nice to be able to do the same with equation references --- click on the equation number, and the equation would magically appear in the margin. Ditto bibliography entries, theorem statements, definitions, and so on. I guess there are possible solutions other than having them appear in the margin, too.
- egocodedinsol 13y agoThanks! I was thinking about doing the same with bib refs since I don't like being sent to the bottom of the page like a footnote. I really like the idea of doing the same thing with theorems, defs, etc. I'm a bit worried about what to do with column overload, though, if I add a col for X, a col for Y, etc. Perhaps a hover-text is better but that would obscure the content ...
- michael_nielsen 13y agoI'm not sure I see why you'd want separate columns for X, Y, etc. Why not have one margin, and use it for theorems, definitions, etc?
