Re: Sort of personal nodelet

I think this is a great idea, and have another enhancement: standard linking. I would love to be able to use the [link|name] format for the personal nodelet, instead of just the node ID and that nodes title, because some valuable nodes have overly long, possibly off-topic, names. This would also let me link offsite: i.e. [http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/cblast35/cblast35.cgi|cb Last 35] I understand that the personal nodelet if really for insite stuff, and I do have bookmarks for a reason, but.... i think it would be a nice, easy, logical enhancement.

You can use regular `<a href="...">`'s in the Personal Nodelet if you add them via User Settings, and using arbitrary link names for `[node]`-style links is as simple as appending a `\|my link name` in the same User Settings nodelet manager. The latter isn't perfect, though ... it effectively does [n\|foo] rather than [id://n\|foo], but for all the nodes I've tried, it's still taken me to the correct node. --k.	[reply]

Actually, using `<a href="...">` in the Personal Nodelet generates nested `<a ...>` tags. It happens that Netscape and IE ignore the outer `<a ...>` tag so that these links work. Other browsers ignore the inner tag which means that such links don't work. Other browser may do other things with this invalid HTML. I'd like to fix these problems and support `[...]` linking, but haven't yet. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l] [select]
