This file tracks ideas for future features, enhancements, and demonstrations for the mathnotes project.

Features

  • Tags System: Setup a tags system to tag documents and browse by tag
    • Add tags field to document frontmatter
    • Create a tags index page
    • Allow filtering/browsing content by tags
    • Display tags on individual pages

Interactive Demonstrations

  • Reusable Cartesian Plane Library: Extract the cartesian plane, grid, axes, and zoom functionality from the neighborhood demo into a reusable JavaScript library for other mathematical visualizations

Technical Improvements

TODO Features

  • Attribution/Citation Blocks: Create structured blocks for referencing content from other authors

    • Explicit citation formatting with proper attribution
    • Support for different citation styles
    • Clear visual distinction from original content
    • Link to original sources when possible
    • Track and index all citations across the site

  • Automatic Numbering and Reference System: Implement automatic numbering for theorems, definitions, equations, etc. with dynamic cross-references

    • Auto-number theorems, lemmas, propositions, definitions, examples sequentially (e.g., "Theorem 1.1", "Definition 2.3")
    • Support hierarchical numbering by section/chapter
    • Dynamic reference system where \ref{label} automatically shows correct number
    • References update automatically when content is reordered or new items are inserted
    • Support for equation numbering and referencing
    • Cross-page references that work across the entire site
    • LaTeX-style labeling system with {label: my-theorem} in block metadata
    • Generate "References" or "See Also" sections automatically
    • Note: We're basically reimplementing LaTeX's reference system for the web!

  • Google Structured Data Integration: Implement Schema.org markup for mathematical content

    • Add JSON-LD structured data for theorems, definitions, and proofs
    • Use MathObject, Article, or EducationalResource schemas
    • Improve SEO and discoverability in search results
    • Enable rich snippets for mathematical content
    • Consider using CreativeWork for cited/attributed content

  • Definition Disambiguation System: Handle cases where multiple files define the same concept

    • Detect when two or more files contain definitions with the same label or term
    • Provide disambiguation mechanism (e.g., namespace by section or file)
    • Show disambiguation page when referencing ambiguous terms
    • Allow explicit selection of which definition to link to
    • Could use file path or section hierarchy for automatic namespacing
    • Warn during build process about duplicate definition labels
