Keith Devens .com - Weblog: Singular vs. plural tags in a tag-based categorization syst... - 1 views

  • Think of the keywords as class categories, where each item tagged or belonging has an "is a" relationship to its group. Everything becomes singular, consistent, and clear.
  • to consider it an "is in the class of" relationship rather than an "is a" relationship
  • Plural is much better in my opinion, but it makes tagging too complicated, because sometimes there is no plural or the plural does not make sense at all. I recommend to use plural for tags where it is possible, because it makes more sense to the reader.

  • In object-oriented design, classes used to have singular names
  • so often Delicous suggests me singular names
  • In 20 years from now, when even a $100 PC has a Natural Language Co-Processor inside, you won't have this issue. For now, the systems you are interacting with have constraints. The advantage of the style I proposed is its simplicity.
  • using singular tag names because, as another poster stated, it is a simple and consistent system that requires the least amount of mental processing (whenever I clip a web page I don't want to have to sit and think about my tagging nomenclature). The one trade-off is that it is not always "natural language", but this is a fair trade-off for me.
  • singular tag names can also sound more natural in certain situations.
  • idea that cheers me to use singular form is English grammar for adjective

Should a tag be singular or plural? - Programmers Meta - Stack Exchange - 0 views

  • Another reason for plural tags is that a tag lists questions about design patterns, not design pattern.

Daring Fireball: Markdown Syntax Documentation - 0 views

  • Atx-style headers use 1-6 hash characters at the start of the line
  • Optionally, you may “close” atx-style headers. This is purely cosmetic — you can use this if you think it looks better.
  • Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably — as list markers
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • You can produce a horizontal rule tag (<hr />) by placing three or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves. If you wish, you may use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks.
  • Markdown treats asterisks (*) and underscores (_) as indicators of emphasis.
  • Text wrapped with one * or _ will be wrapped with an HTML <em> tag; double *’s or _’s will be wrapped with an HTML <strong> tag.
  • surround an * or _ with spaces, it’ll be treated as a literal
  • To produce a literal asterisk or underscore at a position where it would otherwise be used as an emphasis delimiter, you can backslash escape it

  • name your label with slashes (/) to make it the child of another.

      Also note that it does not effect "/" label (I use this label as shorthand for "OK/done").

    Labels are more flexible than folders because a given email can have several labels but can't be in several folders at the same time. A highly requested feature for labels, though, comes from the world of folders: the ability to organize labels hierarchically.
