So when I write on the nLab, for instance, I like to include lots of detail and/or references to the literature. With sufficient layers of hyperlinking this becomes more and more feasible; to me an optimal scenario would be a structured environment where a succinct proof is given at the top layer, but with links to sublayers so that one could "zoom in" to finer levels of detail. This was harder in the old days with paper journals. | |
