Using MaxThink in hypertext construction <sum07 1 6>
========================================
I use the MaxThink outline/idea processor for many of the
hypertext construction processes.
MaxThink goes beyond conventional outline programs in the
following ways:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Many ways to move information aiding various thinking styles │
│ Many ways to display information to shift perception │
│ Does this with text as well as with files, graphics │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
These capabilities are important to hypertext. For example:
Hypertext node The Alt-I and F4 commands make MaxThink an excellent
management organizer and manipulator of the files or nodes that make up
========== a hypertext system.
Building The MaxThink commands useful in classifying the information
taxonomies in ways that quickly build hierarchies. Of course, these
========== processes are also central in hypertext construction.
Networks Besides the obvious hypertext explanatory jumps between
construction units of information, good hypertext also centers on
============ transitive links. For hypertext jump production, I use three
programs that automatically build transitive links from
MaxThink files (PERM, M2H, and M2A).
Philosophy Perhaps even more important than the commands of MaxThink is
========== the philosophy behind it -- how to use structure for improved
communication, perception, understanding, or representing
knowledge -- key hypertext issues covered in MaxThink's manual.
Utilities Finally, many of the utilities of HyperLink <link27> use the
========= MaxThink file format such as:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ REFALL Produces a MaxThink format file showing all │
│ hypertext jumps within all files in a directory │
│ │
│ IC Integrity Checker program uses the MaxThink │
│ format as a means to validate all hypertext │
│ jumps │
│ │
│ PERM Using MaxThink, builds hypertext decision │
│ trees to create relevant files. │
