"Mapped" post demo
The second example I promised, one showing a post that starts with a diagrammatic "map" of the rest of the post, is now available here. In content terms it's just a "mapped" version of my recent post on exceptions.
Unfortunately, whilst doing the first example I noticed that .Text does not handle relative URLs in a particularly friendly fashion, in that it makes them absolute which leaves them pointing into the "admin" area of the blog. Though I could have worked around this issue by using absolute URLs for all the intra-document links, this seemed like quite a bit of work for limited return. I'm sure anyone reading this is more than capable of imagining what would happen if they clicked on any element of the diagram.
What do people think? Would you find it significantly easier to read a complex post if you had a navigable map to help you?
