Tag Index Roadmap

[braxtonhall]

Supposed we implement the following:

• Insert new tags into tag index #212
• Have a Tag Index version number in the Tag Index #261

Then the Tag Index can be explored/manipulated almost entirely in the extension itself, and we'd have license to change the Tag Index entirely

Let's imagine what a perfect Tag sheet looks like

This is basically a language.

Keywords

#comment

Means this row should not exist. Pretend this row is not here.

#sheet

Must be the first row of the sheet. This tells Better LibraryThing that the sheet is in fact a sheet that has been properly formatted and will include tags.

#description

Description of the sheet

It has the added benefit of having a name (in case you want it to be different from the Sheet name) and a description

#map | NAME | MAPPER | DESCRIPTION?

For mapped tags. You can have as many of these as you want.

#begin

This must be the last keyword used, and indicates the beginning of tags. Any cell beneath this one will be read as a tag, even if prefixed with # (except for #comment). No cells above this one will be read as a tag.

Additionally, the row immediately following that isn't a #comment will be ignored, and assumed a header

The sheet from beneath this point follows: CW, Description, Tag 1, Tag 2, ... Tag N

Because there is no data right of the tags, the tag tree can now be INFINITE!! Subsubsubsubsubsubsubsubtags baybeeee
