CAN Notebook Manager

Backlinks

• CAN manager links should be rendered as blue text
  • The CAN manager displays rendered notes to the user. Rather than displaying raw markdown syntax for hyperlinks, CAN should indicate that a section of text is a link through colour.
• CAN is a REPL-like environment
  • The intent is that CAN's notebook manager would be open while the user works on their notes, alongside any text editor opened on scratch.z. The manager provides the ability to view, search, explore, export, create, edit and organise a CAN notebook through a series of commands.
• CAN's interface will be built using vorpal
  • The interface for CAN's notebook manager repl-like interface will be built using vorpal. This gives me the interface I want with little nice bits like tab-completion for free.
• The CAN scratchfile is scratch.z
  • In the directory the CAN manager is running, the scratchfile will be scratch.z
• CAN will use marked to process markdown input
  • Because marked also has a HTML renderer for its AST, I can also start with a way to export HTML from the notebook manager. A markdown renderer will still need to be written.
