or whatever. I don't care.

Part I: in which our hero explains the goal

-

The goal in this book, Autocento of the breakfast table, is to explore the workings of revision and recursion through words, both in the head and on paper. It's a hypertextual imagining of how things could have been, in all of their possibilities.

-

Part II: Enough of that high-faluting bullshit; down to brass tax

-

A.K.A. Using Pandoc to compile them pages, neff

-

This project uses John MacFarlane's amazing, etc. pandoc for the fun, HTML-writing stuff. Use the compile.sh script to compile the stuff down.

-

Note: you're on Windows right now, so make sure and type bash compile.sh to run the program.

-

At the top of each file, there should be a YAML block that looks something like this:
