A significant development with Craft

The other thing Craft is amazingly good at is producing seriously well-structured PDFs. I haven’t experimented with this in the web version yet, but if you have a complex Craft document with multiple embedded subdocuments, it will turn the whole thing into an elegantly cross-linked PDF, complete with table of contents. It’s astonishingly capable.

I must take a look at the web version, although I’m embedded in the Apple ecosphere so don’t really need to use it.

For an alternative model, just take a look at Andy Matuschak’s notes (actually, I’m sure it was somebody here who put me onto them). Alas, he hasn’t released his amazing model as a piece of software yet, but I notice there’s an Obsidian plugin that attempts to replicate it. There are some close similarities to Craft, however (but also to e.g. Gingko, FlowList etc.).
