On Monday, spent a lot of time working on the conversion of the original
document filter facets into checkboxes, so that we can hide/show content
using only CSS. It’s remarkably tricky because the category filter strings
are full of infelicities such as commas, pipes, periods, and other things
which make it hard to create good @name attributes and regular
expressions based on them.
On Tuesday, did a lot more work on this, and changed tack a couple of times as it became obvious that CSS could not do the job due to the combinatorial explosion of checkboxes available and the difficulty of deciding whether they should be additive or reductive. Started working on the JS.
