Tags and Octothorpes

Octothorpes are like super-tags for websites. So they are designed to work seamlessly with any platform’s normal method of tagging content.

This page has been octothorped with these terms

On this site, Tags are octothorpes

The easiest way to octothorpe a page is to turn that page’s existing metadata into octothorpes. That’s what’s happening here – this site is built so that any tag added to a page turns into an octothorpe for the same term. The card in the left margin outputs all the tags on this page as octothorpes. So, as an author, I don’t have to take any extra steps. I just tag my page, and it will become an octothorpe.

For comparision, here’s a page that just uses tags without octothorping them.

You can even use your existing markup without adding anything extra if you make a custom harmonizer.
