This card pertains to a resource available on the internet.

A technique for adding NLS/Augment's section numbering to individual paragraphs of HTML documents.

Each bullet point and paragraph tag is given a unique ID which is also displayed as a citation market in small purple print. Paragraphs can then be directly cited such as "Somepaper, ISR." The paragraph would read:

"And thus the point of this paper is left as an exercize to the reader. (ISR)"

There used to be a script to create these but its gone now.

One caveat is that these numbers may not survive document edits. NLS/Augment assumed "journals" were published documents that never changed so hyperlinks to them would work (revisions would have to be stored as new published documents, perhaps with a mechanism to show the article is outdated.)
