Footnote Testing (a.k.a. better than lorem ipsum) · 1:33am Jul 30th, 2020
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities, and vital system components1 comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it2. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux3, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel4 is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system5,6 is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

- Why is an entire LaTeX distribution not included here?

Would it be the house of the motherboard?
- One thing that would make Fimfiction's BBCode-based hoofnote11 support far more useful is if it functioned as a whole reference system, like how Textile renders footnotes. They are hyperlinked to one another, so the reader can jump back and forth with ease.
- See how the notes are numbered one nesting level at a time?
- One of the core libs I'd love to own12 is something that allows me to alter the font family13 as the author on Fimfiction
- 🐚
- This is just a test of a nested hoofnote
- Note to self: search for penguin/wildebeest slash fic
- Besides adding
[hoofnote]as a synonym - Get it? "Own the libs". LAUGH WHEN I TELL AN ORIGINAL AND CLEVER JOKE!!!!11!!!one!11!
Yes, I can alter the color of the text to indicate that the house is speaking instead of the TARDIS or make the text italic or bold, but that is not the same as switching from Garamond to Optima.
