Ok, here's a different type of query.
I need to input a lot of unrelated text as paragraphs units (factoids) and be able to easily tag keywords in the text and to tag portions of the text with keywords. I've considered installing a local wiki and using the linking to quickly create articles for each keyword and then using the "What links here" to see what text references certain keywords in order to build new text from the old, in different arrangements.
I don't do my own hosting, so I'm not anxious to spend a day or two installing another wiki instance, and don't want to use my existing wiki for the purpose.
There must be an easier way, does anyone know of one? I looked at the indexing features in Microsoft Word, but that is more cumbersome, and doesn't provide the convenience of hyperlinking. I might do it as a database in Access, but creating the keywords would be a lot of extra typing, unless I tag the original text and build some code to strip the tags for final display. Or I could just use wiki tags, copy and paste the final text to a temp wiki page, and then copy and "paste unformatted" to strip the linking tags.... A database would have the advantage of being able to flag portions of text as used so I don't duplicate...
