[stylist] Organizing Content

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I don't really do this to mark my own writing, but I will use symbols as
markers when editing, and as a student, I would do it as well when
wanting to come back to something important.

Hi,
I also have a question about this that is related to free writing. A
programmer friend of mine told me that he often puts little markers in
the code he writes. For example, he will put in a symble that means for
the compiler to ignore this line of text and then on that line, he puts
some other text. For example. He might put something like the line below
this one. // ~~ I got to thinking that maybe in my journal if I'm
writing and I think I may be able to use a piece of content in another
document, I might devise a marking system that is very simple, so that I
can quickly put it in and keep writing. Then I can go back and use my
editor's find function to find the marks and refresh myself about why I
thought they were important and go from there.

What do you think about this? If you do something similar, what is it?

Thanks.

Jim
