The Tree of Widsdom

For navbar use only.

Making a navbar link (NavLink) to a heading-anchor (bookmark) is easy:

1. Make a new note inside BlogNavBar … or a dropdown therein. (A dropdown note is a child of BlogNavBar whose $blogExpOpt is DROPDOWN. The NavLinks “in” the dropdown menu are children of that note.)
2. Give your NavLink note a $Name, which will appear in the navbar.
3. Now set the note’s $Text. Set ¶1 to the name (or path) of the exported webpage’s note (the “container” of the post if it’s multi-note). And set ¶3 to the name (or path) of the sub-post (which exists in the exported note as a bookmarked heading).

For example, say you want to make a NavLink called Storytime that takes your readers to the heading One Weird Trick #1 inside the post The big story about stories—that is to say: you want the NavLink to load the webpage entitle The big story about stories and the scroll to subsection (grandchild) One Weird Trick #2.

And let’s say that the full post outline looks like this:

The big story about stories
  Intro
  Main section 1
  Main section 2
    One Weird Trick #1
    One Weird Trick #2
  Conclusion

All you need to do is make the following note and stick it inside your navbar (that is, inside BlotTopNote/Blog NAVBAR)—either as a child or in a dropdown:

You have to admit, the method is semantic and elegant—note title is NavLink title, first paragraph is post-name, second paragraph is sub-post.

Actual example

Here is the Outline View of this very website’s Blog NAVBAR. A note just like the one we just talked about is shown in the Text Pane:
