Ideally the entries in the table would be links to that post. But AFAIK, substack does not have a table element. I have to import tables as bitmaps, so no way to embed a link in a table. This is not really a table of contents. You will have to go to the GKN home page and find the post you want. Anybody know a clever way around this? A long list is not clever. Maybe substack might want to provide a Table of Contents function?
Gordian Knot News is now up to 80 some posts. They range in importance from fundamental to trivial; in writing quality from pretty good to tech manualese. But it is impossible to figure out either importance or readability from the title. So I've prepared Table 1, which groups the posts by subject and gives them a grade. The same post can show up multiple times. A means you must read this to stay in the choir. B means you should read the piece. C means read this if you have nothing better to do. D means don't waste your time.

Looks like you can post links to files the user can download. Files can be spreadsheets or PDF’s which can have html links in them. Here’s a wild idea: Substack supports LaTeX blocks. It might be possible to use LaTeX to build a table with links.
Hello Jack, I would love to translate your best pieces into French. Is there an email I could use to communicate with you? Thank you!
