EDITED 2019.07.29: New Demo based on the configuration in Post#1
I attach the script “Stack V1.0” as a button on the toolbar. I select some text on my document and click on the button.
Enter a card name, or use the full name as default. A unique identifier will be added to the name.
Enter the comment.
The card is created. A list from three tag groups (separated by space) in the database is shown, multiple or no selection is allowed by cmd-click.
A card is created, displayed on the middle of the screen, and tagged. The first two links are WikiLinks, so you can switch the links later by search and replace, or by changing the name/aliases of the relevant groups in the database. The links for stack and source-document are “hard” item-link.
Another card creation, this time I haven’t selected any text. I am being asked whether to take blank note or to quit.
Blank note created
I created three cards in total and they are located in the document-stack (the doc-stack is created automatically when you create the first card). The doc-stack and the source document are cross-linked by the md field “StackLink”
The md filed “Idxcard” of the source document shows that 3 cards are created.
END OF DEMO
EDITED 2019.07.29:
The potential of stack is not about the multi-cards but about how to tag and connect specific ideas in a more targeted/precise manner. It is always more precise to tag a specific block of concept, facts, hypothesis, variables for analysis, and evidence. Similar snippets from different literature can be group together by smart group using tags and consolidate into a one-document summary. For example, I tag “R.WhatIs” and “T.Legitimacy” on multiple cards from multiple literature. I can group them into one smart group (tag is “R.WhatIs” and “T.Legitimacy”) to understand, merge the most relevant cards within and quote and write how a wide body of literature are conceptualising legitimacy. Stack is just a tool, it’s the workflow of ideas that capitalises its value.
