Jrju (Chinese for spider) is a Perl program that weaves hypertext "notebooks" from plain text files. An author creates notebook pages using the JTX markup format. Jrju will process a directory of JTX files into a cross-linked collection of HTML pages. Jrju rebuilds the entire notebook each time so there are no broken links or orphan pages.
Each notebook has a table of contents that serves as a top level index. Hierarchical indexes provide more specificity when needed. All available notes are listed somewhere in the hierarchy. Notes may contain hot words that link to additional information within the notebook or on the Web. Notes that refer to the current page are listed as related topics (inverse links). Links to the next higher index and table of contents are available on every page.
