Autotagging

The Tag feature is great. It turns out that I’m mainly using it to tag levels, and too often it leads to duplicate information like this:

  @Graphics
== Graphics

...

What I want is to simply write:

== Graphics

...

And then Novelang should guess that “Graphics” matches the Graphics tag. I call this “Autotagging”.

We need a few simple tranformations rules to turn titles into tags.

“foo”	@foo
“Foo”	@Foo
“Foo bar”	@Foobar
“Foo, bar”	@Foo @bar
“Foo. Bar”	@Foo @Bar
“Foo-bar”	@Foo-bar

Automatically-generated tags wouldn’t be part of the tag list, but they would be used for the matching of a known tag with existing level titles.

Depending on the document, this behavior may produce a lot of noise so it requires explicit activation.

Of course, the default tag list (with checkboxes) has a new option to enable autotagging, with some JavaScript adding an autotag parameter in the URL.
