| A single Org file holds my wiki. Yes, it's big, but Org's features make it easily manageable. Org has fine hyperlinking, and equally fine searching -- including searches on headline tags and properties -- using regexps if desired. Underneath is the logical outline structure -- just like a website -- and the hierarchical inheritance of tags and properties. Plus -- here's where Org is superior to a Web-based wiki IMO -- it's so easily refactored. When I started I had only a few top-level entries. Over time, I have accumulated hundreds of headlines and their accompanying body text. Multi-level structure emerged naturally, and continues to evolve. Here are my top-level categories today: 1. Arts and Entertainment
2. Diet and Health
3. Household
4. Restaurant and Bars
5. Petronius.me (my household LAN)
6. Subscriptions
7. People and Me
8. Travel
9. Commonplace Book (quotes, links, and reading I've saved) Org makes it easy to move things around and re-organize as needed: just cut a subtree and paste it to a new location in the hierarchy. Org's linking make cross-references a cinch. Who was that person I met on this trip? Oh, here's a link to their personal entry in "People and Me". And that entry will link back to the trip in "Travel." A headline's unique ID property guarantees that a link will never break, no matter how frequently or drastically you move things around. |
