     * exclude (i.e. the plugin will only be used on pages excluded in those namespaces which are specified in ''restrictionNS'')
   * **''annotationPage''**: pattern for links to annotation pages (leave empty to disable), this can include certain placeholders (''@PN@'' for just the numeral part of the Purple Number, ''@PNID@'' for the whole ID, ''@ID@'' for the whole page ID including namespaces and ''@PAGE@'' for just the pagename excluding namespaces), e.g. ''annotation:@PAGE@-@PNID@'' on a page like "articlename" with a PNID of "ID5" would result in the page "annotation:articlename-id5" and ''@ID@:note-@PN@'' on a page like "foo:bar:article" with a PN of "1.5:16" would result in "foo:bar:article:note-1_5-16"
+  * **''includeStartpage''**: display Purple Numbers on start pages? (makes it possible to exclude PNs on start pages)

 > I agree that changing the CSS is the best way to do it. But I would advise against changing the CSS in the plugin, as those changes would be overwritten with an update. Better use [[devel:css#user_styles|user styles]] for that. --- [[user>ach|Anika Henke]] //2013/03/24 16:03//
+Hello. I think this plugin has a lot of potential. There's still a great need for fine-grained referncing, as is evidenced by programs like Obsidian, Logseq, and the Streams plugin for TiddlyWiki. Ted Nelson is also still promoting his ideas.
+This plugin, however, falls short on a few fronts. Firstly, it's a real bummer that links break when paragraphs are inserted or rearranged. The comment pages get associated with the wrong paragraphs as well, that's really bad. My request is for a third numbering system to be implemented where every paragraph gets a unique, randomly generated ID which persists. Perhaps anchor links can be inserted into the page code itself, so that they are seen when editing the text, and can be copy/pasted along with the paragraphs when one moves them around. My second request is that the paragraph gets highlighted when clicked, so that it becomes clear what paragraph is being referenced even when the article is too short for scroll operations. --- Antithesis //2022/09/22//
