Comments regarding your template: (I'm aware that your template is designed for gathering content rather than as a finalized format)
I like the sub-titles - they appear to do a good job of conveying the context (monadic/dyadic) without getting in the way. It would be good to get some feedback from newcomers to J though. One disadvantage is that it will be a pain to hyperlink to directly to them, for example to link to the section on "Larger Of" the url is: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/greaterperiod#x.3E.y.28LargerOf.2CMax.29 The template seems to suggest that users shouldn't add to the See Also sections. Is this intended? Other things I would like to see: * a bigger version of the primitive at the top of the page in a monospaced font to reinforce that I'm on the right page. * Using the TableOfContents macro for navigation is nicer but I also see some value in an at-a-glance summary of the primitive somewhere. > From: Ian Clark > > Just in case anyone gets puzzled where they came from... > > I've created stubs by-hand as a trial, of the first 9 entries of > http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/FormalPageNames > > = equal > =. equalperiod > =: equalcolon > < less > <. lessperiod > <: lesscolon > > greater > >. greaterperiod > >: greatercolon > > The overlapping pages are still there. > > Feel free to add content, if you feel inspired.
