Manuscript structure
This defines the order your reader experiences the oracle and its correspondence.
One shared sequence for the whole book: oracle cards (primary spine), tarot correspondence pages, and chapters, ordered by toc_position in front matter. Oracle-first labels below show how each entry sits in that spine.
Reorder controls require the local dev server. On static hosting, edit toc_position in each markdown file or run astro dev.
2 entries with a sequence position · after reordering, positions are saved as 1–2
Only items with a toc_position appear in /reader. Changing order here updates those positions on disk and
directly shapes the reader preview for the full manuscript.
| # | Layer | Section | Title | Status | Words |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Chapter | Holding | INTRODUCTION TO THE ORACLE DECK | Draft | 354 |
| 2 | Chapter | Holding | ABOUT THE AUTHOR | Draft | 525 |
No toc_position — these entries are hidden from /reader until assigned.
Append order: oracle cards (A–Z by file id), then correspondence pages, then chapters — placed after the current highest sequence number.
