Citations become numbered notes, but the number belongs to the note and is never printed in the text. Every work the page cites is listed at the end, in a Bibliography, so that an essay is complete without the rest of the site; each entry has a ↩ back to the citation. The first note for a work gives it in full: Hacking’s account of how classifications change the people classified first appeared in the London Review of Books and is developed at length elsewhere. Later notes for the same work use the short form, with their own page, and its popup adds the work in full; a note may also carry a remark of its own. Two citations at the same point share one circle, which opens both. Every cited work also has a page of its own, reached from the → after its note or its Bibliography entry, and the popup shows that page’s card beneath the note: for a work with a photograph of its cover, such as Pirsig’s novel, the card carries the cover. A note opens over the page at every width, and its circle stays filled for as long as it is pinned open.
