Hello, I am working on the Maxima (http://maxima.sf.net) reference manual. I am thinking about establishing a category system of the kind employed by Wikipedia, in which an article can belong to multiple categories, which are indicated at the foot of the page. Categories are indicated in the page source on the article's page (not the category's page). The category page has some summary text and a list of the articles in the category; the list is generated by scanning the articles for category tags.
What I'd like to do is make up a macro, which either takes one argument and appears several times (once for each category to which a @deffn or @defvr belongs) or takes several arguments. In the article, @refs are generated (maybe in a fancy box if html). A node is generated for the category and @ref's to each @deffn / @defvr are created. I wonder whether this duplicates functionality already present in texinfo, or if something similar has been created before, or failing that how much texinfo can help me do this. Certainly it is possible by making @mycategory expand to nothing and using awk / perl / python et al to process the category tags. Thanks in advance for any advice.
