* To The Stars Battle Diagrams and Annotations
This project's goal is to provide visualisations and summaries of battles and
plots in the AO3 novel /To The Stars/.
The battle symbology is derived from NATO Joint Military Symbols and is
augmented to ensure full compatibility.
** Format
The symbology used in battle diagrams is given in ~references.tex~.

To cite a passage, use the format ~(VOL CH LINE)~, e.g. ~(1.1.123)~ refers to
line 123 of volume 1 chapter 1 (A Wish). The line number is the unfolded line
number which can be extracted in Emacs via ~nov.el~ and
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq nov-text-width t)
(add-hook 'nov-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)
#+end_src
To refer to a character "First, Last", use "Last F.". For example, Shizuki
Ryouko is referred to as "Shizuki R.". This format is uniform across the wiki.
The way wiki generates is by assigning a plot timestamp to every part of an org
file based on the next citation point.
** Wiki Generation
~litwiki~, a Python package specifically developed for this project, is included
here to assist with the progressive generation of wikis.
