WHAT THE PARADOX DEMO SHOWS
Every xanapage is assembled from its sources
at the time it is opened, pulling in the live quotations.
These live quotations are called transclusions.
We show their source connections in orange.
In this demo we show the page called
"The Jefferson Paradox" and its source text.
THE PARADOX: Thomas Jefferson wrote
in the Declaration of Independence
that "all Men are created equal", yet he owned
many slaves and had children by one of them.
THE SOURCE TEXT
By default, every user has a textfile to which
the user's new input is appended.
We call it a permascroll, as it never changes
except for getting longer.
Each portion of "The Jefferson Paradox"
is taken live from the permascroll,
in the sections shown here.
We show transclusions in orange.
To highlight the irony of allowing his
slave children to escape, we transclude "Liberty"
to the end.
