Yeah the 3 word lines one after another is god awful.

This is a table of contents. Those are the names of sections. You can click on them to go to pages of more normally formatted paragraphs.

The paragraphs on all pages are formatted quite narrowly, displaying only 3 - 6 words per line.

If this bothers people, it can also be changed with Stylebot or the like, using a rule like this to change the max-width, which is set to 400px, to a larger value:

p, ul, li { max-width: 800px; }

Thanks - my mistake. I thought this was some really bad LinkedIn style content.

I suspect that’s how they help you make sense of a mess. If you can get through the styling you can survive anything.

This should definitely be an option you can turn on or off.

So far I'm not finding it that bothersome but I'm thinking of vibe coding a chrome extension to remove the highlighting.

The solution is literally one line.

From the start of the book:

"Each time you see a word that is highlighted, [...] it means that this term is a lexicon enabled term. By clicking on that term, you will see a page listing all other uses of that term within the book."

Very helpful for people who need to be constantly reminded to have top-of-mind instant access to the definition of words like "thing" and "what", at all times.

If you have Stylebot or the like installed, you can get rid of the highlighting with:

a { background-color: transparent; }

Here's a bookmarklet:

  javascript:document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(el => el.style.backgroundColor = 'transparent')

I am highly impressed by the lexicon feature, but I think it would be nice if you could disable the highlighting
