I ran into that problem this weekend trying to insert links from the network.md file to the glossary.rst file. You can refer to the document by: glossary.html, but you cannot target specific anchor

ah, got it. rday

because you cannot refer to a .rst from a .md because the suffix will be changed to .html Chris

The JOURNAL and LEDGER when used in financial system have different meaning. But in general terms LEDGER means a book of entries where once entry is written with pen u cannot really update it. Isn't

So I suggest to change the note, It is easy to misunderstand.

IMHO, if we can distinguish the term of "smart contract" and "chaincode", it might be easier to define the context. I.e., smart contract can be some electronic code for a specific purpose (e.g.,

Singular and plural. Just like code.

i asked about this once upon a time, but i'm still puzzled as to why the actual source of some markdown files contain links/references explicitly to html files. consider this example

Smart contracts are neither... discuss. I also hate “chaincode”, in any plurality but, its what we have. I guess that maybe we should have a conversation about this... it is getting to be more

... snip ... i was going to respond with something very much like this; now i don't have to. :-) in short, one would say, "i wrote some code today" -- one would never say, "i wrote some codes

Consider: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/20455/is-it-wrong-to-use-the-word-codes-in-a-programming-context The accepted answer (with which I agree completely) is: As a programmer, I cringe

Now THAT is an excellent point! I worked on financial systems in the 80s (and in COBOL no less) and there was no confusion about the journal and the ledger ... you have reminded me that the separation

The two of you have both done a great job of providing clarity for the community. I know this is controversial but will throw it out there. The misuse of the term “ledger” is an original sin in

Yeah, that sounds a little twisted. I describe world state as a set of key value pairs in a peer's database with keys being asset identifiers (or related identifiers) and the values being *current*

Frankly, I have never liked "chaincode" as a term, because it appears to mean pretty much anything in the realm of a smart contract, the physical code implementing a smart contract, and the same code

I take the attitude that one chaincode is "chaincode" and multiple chaincodes are just that, chaincodes. I think it's useful in helping people see that peers can host multiple chaincodes, rather than

there's something about that entire "ledger" section that just seems ... off, but i can't put my finger on it. i'll give this more thought until i figure out what it is. rday

Agree .... the phrasing is definitely odd. Maybe something like: "The world state represents that latest value of each key stored in the ledger" ----------------------------------------- Gari

yes, i am this nitpicky ... the docs seem to bounce around between treating the phrase "chaincode" as both singular and plural, depending on the context, in that there is frequent use of the word

"World State" "The world state represents the current values of all ledger states." i'm pretty sure i know what that line is *trying* to say, but i'm also sure that's not the best way to say it.
