+ Getting Started with Alexandria
+
+ Overview
+
+
+ Alexandria opens up to the landing page, where the user
+ can: login (top-right), select whether to only view the publications
+ hosted on the thecitadel document relay or add in their own relays, and scroll/search the publications.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ There is also the ability to view the publications as a diagram, if you
+ click on "Visualize", and to publish an e-book or other document (coming
+ soon).
+
+
+
+ If you click on a card, which represents a 30040 index event, the
+ associated reading view opens to the publication. The app then pulls all
+ of the content events (30041s and 30818s for wiki pages), in the order in
+ which they are indexed, and displays them as a single document.
+
+
+
+ Each content section (30041 or 30818) is also a level in the table of
+ contents, which can be accessed from the floating icon top-left in the
+ reading view. This allows for navigation within the publication.
+ Publications of type "blog" have a ToC which emphasizes that each entry
+ is a blog post.
+
+ (This functionality has been temporarily disabled, but the TOC is visible.)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ The most common use for Alexandria is for e-books: both those the users
+ have written themselves and those uploaded to Nostr from other sources.
+ The first minor version of the app, Gutenberg, is focused on displaying
+ and producing these publications.
+
+
+
+ An example of a book is Jane Eyre
+
+
+
+
+
+ Alexandria will also display research papers with Asciimath and LaTeX
+ embedding, and the normal advanced formatting options available for
+ Asciidoc. In addition, we will be implementing special citation events,
+ which will serve as an alternative or addition to the normal footnotes.
+
+
+
+ Correctly displaying such papers, integrating citations, and allowing them
+ to be reviewed (with kind 1111 comments), and annotated (with highlights)
+ by users, is the focus of the second minor version, Euler.
+
+
+
+ Euler will also pioneer the HTTP-based (rather than websocket-based)
+ e-paper compatible version of the web app.
+
+
+
+ An example of a research paper is Less Partnering, Less Children, or Both?
+
+
+
+
+
+ Our own team uses Alexandria to document the app, to display our blog entries, as well as to store copies of our most interesting technical specifications.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Alexandria now supports wiki pages (kind 30818), allowing for
+ collaborative knowledge bases and documentation. Wiki pages, such as this
+ one about the Sybil utility use the same
+ Asciidoc format as other publications but are specifically designed for interconnected,
+ evolving content.
+
+
+
+ Wiki pages can be linked to from other publications and can contain links
+ to other wiki pages, creating a web of knowledge that can be navigated and
+ explored.
