OK this is probably already by these fancy obsidian<br>editors or what not (that i don&#x27;t want to use because<br>i r curmudgeon).<br><br>I have re-written my wiki again, and it has my thinking<br>along with my style of writing where I edit out &quot;chunks&quot;<br>like back and forth. Like i write like A B testing.<br><br>Anwyays I am thinking of an editor that can help<br>with that. You can block out stanzas that are not<br>atoms but lists. This would work pretty well in<br>old school html just using links (i&#x27;m thinking that<br>probably because I&#x27;m wiki brained right now).<br><br>Like you have a paragrash and imagine a few<br>stanzas in that paragrah are &quot;a link&quot;. You<br>click on the link and it cycles thru alternatives.<br><br>These stanzas would be very easy to set up. Like<br>selecting text and it makes some data structure<br>that is a list of alternates.<br><br>Now think about this expanded. That part I am<br>not as clear on. But I can imagine that expanding.<br>Maybe stanzas don&#x27;t have to be discrete thay<br>can intermingle. There would be some cascade<br>logic for when you alternated a stanza that was<br>has stanzas in it or maybe it shared some text with<br>another stanza.<br><br><a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/engine/" rel="tag">#engine</a><br>
