Custom Asidenotes – Eric’s Archived Thoughts

Previously on meyerweb, I crawled through a way to turn parenthetical comments into sidenotes, which I called “asidenotes”. As a recap, these are inline asides in parentheses, which is something I like to do. The constraints are that the text has to start inline, with its enclosing parentheses as part of the static content, so that the parentheses are present if CSS isn’t applied, but should lose those parentheses when turned into asidenotes, while also adding a sentence-terminating period when needed.
