WikiPage Generations

Complete listing of all evolutionary generations in the WikiPage project.

Generation 4 Current

Promoted elite candidates with verified PDF output. Two-column layout, readable equations, text flow around illustrations.

401 (from 302) 402 (from 304)
Test articles: Pythagorean theorem, Alan Turing, Voigt notation

Generation 3 Stable

Web app only (bookmarklets deprecated). Image differentiation: equations inline, illustrations right column.

301 302 (promoted) 303 (timeout) 304 (promoted) 305
Key evolution: PDF page verification via pdftoppm

Generation 2 Archived

Crossover generation. Combined 104's pagination with 103's equation preservation. Selective image handling.

201 203 204 (selected) 205
Test article: Directed Acyclic Graph

Generation 1 Archived

Tensor contraction. Each candidate became (web app, bookmarklet) pair. CSS-only pagination tested.

103 104
Finding: CSS pagination better than Paged.js but broke equations

Generation 0 Archived

Initial population. Three invocation methods: CLI, web app, bookmarklet.

002 (CLI) 005 (web) 006 (bookmarklet) 007 (CLI)
CLI candidates extinct due to environment constraints
