Ka inspired neuron's contextual backlinks feature

Blog post on 2020-11-03

Contextual backlinks is a feature wherein each backlink includes the “surrounding context” of that link, which is usually a paragraph or the list item containing the link. This feature was first implemented, and then iterated in Ka. Once the feature was done to my satisfaction, I re-used the same code to implement it in neuron. This is a testament to the fact that Ka is a research playground for neuron.

Incidentally, the CommonMark highlighting extension also made its way to neuron in the same manner.
