Rebooting the reboot. #

I never did write up the macro info I was talking about here so here goes.

I type daynumparagraphnum at the end of the “paragraph” for the marker (i.e. today is day 88, so this paragraph is 882), then exit edit mode, then type @x to execute the macro in register ‘x’. The macro itself is bdwa [#](#a^R")^[0i[](){:#a^R"}^[$:w^M which breaks down as follows:

• bdwa = (b) go back one “word” (sequence of alphanumeric characters), (d) delete to the next destination, (w) next “word”, (a) switch to append mode
• append ‘ [#](#a’ then paste last buffer (which is the numbers previously deleted) then append ‘)’
• ^\[0i - move to the beginning of the line and enter insert mode
• insert ‘[](){#a’ and paste the last register (‘^R”’ - the previously deleted numbers and continue to insert ‘}’
• ^\[$:w^M - exit insert mode and jump to the end of the line, write the file and press ‘enter’

The characters ‘[](){:#axxx}’ insert an anchor tag with the id set to ‘a’ plus the paragraphnum, so <a id='a###' />, which allows the ‘#’ link at the end of the paragraph to navigate to the beginning of the paragraph. #
