Thanks Mr Von Twaddle,
Stretch test is new to me too. Over the years if tried to write text with
links which reads well, I never got there. Stretchtext is one of those
things which exist in the world, like a song which seems so simple and
obvious you believe that you would have written it if only Paul MaCartney
hadn't got there first.
And thanks Jeremy, who would have known that Ted Nelson had the idea nearly
50 years ago?
An idea.. Here is the text from the TiddlyWiki:
StretchText is an old hypertext concept. It enables for the author to write
text that turn to different *readers with varying* *levels* of interest or
knowledge.
Instinctively id like the StretchText tiddler to have a field containing
one of more Stretchtexts. Rather than the author adding the stretches
inline, they are stored in an appropriate tiddler. It paves the way for
transclusion-centric authoring.
All this brings Steve SUNY and {{DesignWrite}} to mind. Thinking in
StretchText could be something to add to thinking hypertextually. And what
other Ted Nlson concepts are out there?
Best wishes
Alex
