CAN note

Backlinks

• CANs link command should enumerate links for the named note
  • When called with a valid note name as an argument, the CAN link command should enumerate links for the named note.
• CAN should store and address notes semantically
  • CAN's focus is on the meaningful content of notes rather than presentation. This will allow CAN to accept different input formats and output in multiple formats too. CAN will still be able to transform and work with the parts of the note that matter.
• CAN should normalise the AST before it is hashed
  • CAN should store and address notes semantically, which means notes with two different structures but the same meaningful content should have the same AST. And the same address.
• CAN's edit command should load the named note into the scratchfile
  • When a valid note name is passed to the edit command, the named note should be loaded for editing into the scratchfile.
• CAN's show command should render a note
  • CAN's show command is used to display notes. When passing a valid note name as an argument, CAN should render that note in full using the cli markdown variant.
• CAN's add command should save the current scratchfile as a note.
  • CAN's add command is intended to add new notes to the notebook. When a new note has been detected and the add command is run, this new note should be created at the correct address. Each address in a CAN notebook is a directory. Each CAN address contains the AST of the note at this address and a metadata file containing names.
