Observable aspects of my digital language art. I like to ask people to read nllf.net, some of which is driven by notebooks made here.

bodytext = md`<div style="font-style: italic; margin: 16px;">Prose is linear. It is read and is said to move. It must by nature, therefore, generate a symbolics of spatial or temporal movement widened by its context beyond the limits of the actual sentence read from left to right in so many seconds. In whatever context, the movement may resemble accumulation or attrition, progress or other process, even stasis, or any one of these interrupted, turned, reversed. In space or time or both, it can go in any direction as continuous or repetitive, accelerated or retarded, smooth, halting, or halted.</div>
<div>Virginia Tufte, <i>Artful Sentences</i> (Graphics Press, 2006, 271), quoted by Renee Gladman in ‘The Sentence as a Space for Living.’ Gladman comments, “This is the most comprehensive description of what prose does that I’ve thus far encountered.” (101 in <i>Tripwire</i>, [no. 15 (2019): 89-109](https://tripwirejournal.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/tripwire15.pdf).’ </div>`
