This project looks promising.
I have made some formatting changes to the Vocabulary page.
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary
They can be easily reverted if not desirable. (doesn't include bold & italics
though). The formatting makes the source code for the page quite messy, but
once the links are finalized the page should be pretty stable so that probably
won't be too important.
I've added a fourth column for ( {:: ) and ( &.: ) rather than trying to
squeeze them into 3 (still needs some work). It makes it clearer what is a
primitive and the columns look neater, but the close relationship between &.
and &.: is less clear. Anybody prefer 3 columns?
What should we use for the names of the primitive pages? IMO ideally we should
use the symbols themselves. This seems to work quite well for the majority of
the primitives - see the page for examples. The exceptions I've noted so far
are: ( | |. |: . .. /. # ). There may be workarounds (I haven't investigated
very hard), but if not should we use the English names? For all? Just for the
exceptions?
After we've sorted out the page naming, some example entries might help suggest
a design for a wiki page template.
