Scrapbox does not have come-from link, so when I try to express something like mathematics, where the definition is in one place and the other place is the use of the definition, I have to make the definition side a page title instead of a link, which makes the page more divided than necessary and makes it less visually appealing. I wonder if page embedding could be done…
A come-from link is a way to declare, “If a link for this keyword is pressed on another page, it will come here.
- Opposite to “goto” which is “go where you are going”.
- This makes it easy to express, as in mathematics, when you have a definition in one place and want to jump to that definition in another place.
- Illustration. Blue line means link.
If you naively use the appearance of the keyword “XX sex” in Scrapbox as a link
- A virtual “XX sex” page would be created, and pages that use “XX sex” would be lined up on it.
- No distinction is made between the definition and use of the concept.
- I don’t know where to look when I want to see a definition.
Solution 1
- Move the content that was in part B
- This would break the state of A and B being adjacent to each other.
- Would it be nice to have “page embedding” to solve this divide? I thought
Solution 2
- Row links point to the definition position
- Can be realized with little effort
- Content fragmentation will not occur.
- One click more, but you can get to the definition.
- If only we could finally find it.
- The first method will become buried and unreachable as the use of the concept grows, so it would be better to point to a definition before it is born.
