Hyperbole and ways to browse notes

Hyperbole and ways to browse notes

[Ryan Schram]

Hi,

Has anyone gotten Hyperbole 4.x to work on GNU Emacs 21.3.50 (Mac OS X) 
or thereabouts? I have downloaded the ftp.gnu.org and sourceforge.net 
tarballs and tried to make. Each seems to be missing files that the 
Makefile chokes on. If someone could point me to a complete distro or a 
guide to editing the Makefile, I'd really appreciate it. 

I'm also curious about other forms of hypertext support for Emacs. I am 
working on developing a markup format for notes (ethnographic 
fieldnotes, to be precise), and I'd like to be able to store, index, 
annotate notes, and link between notes. Any alternatives to Hyperbole? 

Thanks, 
Ryan

I'm running this:
 hyperb:version's value is "04.18"
 emacs-version's  value is "21.3.1"

I don't remember having any trouble getting things set up.  I've
been using the combination for a number of months now...

This isn't the same thing buy you might take a gander at records
mode for emacs: http://sourceforge.net/projects/records
Note the same as Hyperbole nor as complete but an interesting way
to organize notes.

Ryan,

I had to compile the hyperbole sources from within
emacs.  It was a bit tedious because of having to
chase through the chain of dependencies, but in
the end it works fine.   You might consider Emacs
Wiki as an alternative.
