Autocento of the breakfast table: a README

==========================================

Part I: in which our hero explains the goal

-------------------------------------------

The goal in this book, *Autocento of the breakfast table*, is to explore the workings of revision and recursion through words, both in the head and on paper.

It's a hypertextual imagining of how things could have been, in all of their possibilities.

Part II: How to use this repo

-----------------------------

This project uses John McFarlane's wonderful program [pandoc][], and its markdown flavor, to encode the poems and stories and things contained within.

To see the source text files, navigate to the [src/](autocento.me/src/) folder.

At the top of each file, there is a YAML metadata block that looks something like this:

````yaml
