linking to the plays
This is about how you can link to the plays in willshake.
Everything in willshake has an address. Every line of every play has its own URL.
All addresses at willshake start with https://willshake.net. The plays are all
under /plays. Each play has its own place under that, using its MLA
abbreviation.
For example, the MLA abbreviation for Twelfth Night is “TN”, so to link to
Twelfth Night, you would use https://willshake.net/TN, as shown in Figure
1.
Each scene also has its own address, underneath the play it belongs to. These
also have specific names. “Act 1, Scene 3,” for example, would be written as
“1.3”. So to link to Act 1, Scene 3 of Twelfth Night, you would use
https://willshake.net/plays/TN/1.3, as shown in Figure 2.
You can also link to a specific line of a play, by adding an “anchor” to the
address. Unlike most editions, willshake uses words instead of numbers to
identify lines. To link to the line in Twelfth Night, Act 1, Scene 1 that
begins “Sweet Sir,” you would use https://willshake.net/plays/TN/1.3#Sweet_Sir,
as shown in Figure 3.
The # and _ have to be escaped for export to PDF. They don’t actually belong in
the URL.
