Link Conventions

I use funny little glyphs to hint at what a Page Title links to, Like This 𓍯. The intent: to help you know if you want to click through without being so **in your face** that your reading stumbles.

* Here's an Aside » acts like a footnote or **sidenote** symbol¹ in printed text: something not necessary for the argument, but might still be interesting. I don't use it for citations.

* Illustrative Example 𓍯 points to an **example**. Think of it as a noose grabbing hold of something concrete.

* A Use of Jargon 𓇯 points to the **explanation of a jargon term**. It looks like a low table that offers support, the way defined terms support an argument or axioms are the foundation of a mathematical system. Follow it if the jargon isn't familiar.

* Context Reminder 𓅮 is used to point to a page that provides context for the page you're reading. It's context you'll have if you got to the current page in the expected way. If not, follow the link. As a mnemonic, consider that the image is of a bird flying up (to be able to view the context) and backward (to get a look at a prerequisite page).

* The Related Topic𓃹 glyph points to an entry point to a whole collection of pages. The symbol is of a rabbit to warn you that clicking the link might "send you down a rabbit hole ."

* The Next Page ↩️ glyph is attached to a link that takes you to the next page in the main thread of a narrative.

* For completeness: wiki highlights **external links ** with the (fairly common) upward arrow glyph.

* Assume **an unadorned title** is something you should click on if you're reading a multi-page argument. Or it may mean I haven't gotten around to annotating a link.
