Thanks. The ongoing puzzlement still presents itself in the Attribute Browser. But I suspect that the glitch is deeper than AB display and more on the level of making pieces connect as they should.
I wasn’t free at the time of this meetup and so watched the video when it was posted. Wow! So much valuable information … this is a must watch and it finally got me to understand the incredible power of links in Tinderbox, and also how to effectively use the Attribute Browser. Definitely time well spent!
One thing not covered: how to best use the directionality of links.
Not understanding which way a link “should” go inhibits my use of them. I see the built-in footnote (Note > Footnote) sets up links in both directions.
There are different ways to get to the same place. I know, I know. But conventions on direction can be important. For example:
Barney Google bet his horse would win the prize.
When the horses ran that day, Spark Plug ran the other way.[1]
After that disaster, the poor fellow was turned out of the house and home by a wife three times his size, and had to live with his horse.
Where can I learn more about conventions on directionality of links for different uses? Are there some helpful rules of thumb to get started?
Some racetracks go counterclockwise, others clockwise, while dog tracks always go counterclockwise. ↩︎
