The TXT WD extensions allows to label standard markdown content with multidimensional
topic.subtopic labels and create, classify and keep ordered an "ever growing" number
of notes and documents.
There are powerful search engines allowing to find lost information, documents and email, but it is much better to never loose such information in the first place.
- The topics menu ( click ∷ button ) allows to select content based on multidimensional "topics", filtering out non selected contect with a granularity of one or more paragraphs.
- The index menu ( click '≣' button ) shows a conventional index with "chapters" and "sections". If topics have been selected, only chapters and "sections" included will be listed.
- Finally, clicking on '◂' button let you hide all control pannels.
- You can use your favourite text editor to write the markdown content.
To see how the output looks in real time while editing source markdown, open the browser in parallel with a txt editor used to edit the markdown, go to settings(⚙), and change the default refresh rate from the default (1 hour/3600 secs) to just a few seconds (7 secs will be enough unless you write "too fast").

""" ... The documentation and samples are still bad today ... We ended up with a painful difficult-to-understand, hard-to-test, even-harder-to-modify mess. Not because we didn't follow the "(Google Android) best practices", but precisely because we did!...a large part of the official documentation and samples are still poorly written. And it continues to mislead the new generation of inexperienced developers. And as Uncle Bob would tell you, most developers are new since the IT industry double its size every five years ..."

- ✓ PUTTING RELATED INFORMATION CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.
- ✓ DON'T REPEAT TWICE.
- ✓ USE YOUR HARD DISK TO SAVE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, NOT PILES OF DOCUMENTS SPREAD ("HIDDEN" OR "LOST") AMONGST HUNDRED OF EMAILS, POSTS, CHATS, WORDS, CUSTOM DATABASES, EXCELS AND BINARY FILES OF RANDOM NATURE.
- ✓ DON'T USE PROPRIETARY FORMATS FOR IMPORTANT DOCUMENTATION: THE SIMPLEST, THE BEST.
- ✓ AVOID USING (EXPENSIVE AND COMPLEX TO SETUP AND MAINTAIN) SEARCH ENGINES TO FIND FOR LOST INFORMATION: NEVER LOOSE THE INFORMATION IN FIRST PLACE.
