That's good. I've been thinking that maybe it'd be better to give each
page a uniqe ID (a number or something). This would have some advantages:
* We can do version control of page renaming (name changes, ID is constant)
* We can have several page paths point to the same page (this is something
I'd really like, because it'd allow me to place a page in more than one
group). What I mean is that the links (or page paths)
/LyX/LaTeX-tools
and
/LaTeX/LaTeX-tools
would refer to the same page.
It's probably a good idea to think of the pages as a database (regardless
of how it's implemented), and look at how to structure it from that point
of view.
