I'm generating trees of information by using the folder structure and tree command under Windows XP. My approach has revealed two problems with itself. One is that I am ending up with the need to duplicate references that are actual files and folders, causing me to over bloat or limit the scope of my data. The other even bigger issue now is that I have encountered the 260 character file path limit.
After some pondering, I'm now thinking that it would be best to utilize a dedicated software for the generation of trees and handling of references so that I would only need my reference files to be up to a few levels deep in any path and they wouldn't need to be duplicated. I could have many tree branches refernce the same files. This way I could have better organization of the ebooks, offline webpages, videos, text files, and other files referenced by a given tree.
After a quick search, I have determined that there's no readily available and free software that will do exactly what I need. Maybe there is? If not, I will have to develop it myself. With that in mind, I am thinking about how that would be implemented. Perhaps a type structure (or memory allocation in C) would be needed to generate the trees with much longer paths. Then I could make the type attributes include the references. That sounds complicated.
After further pondering, I decided that using HTML is the way for me to go. What I need are nested unordered lists with links in the list items as the references.
