Yeah, I use markdown currently. Markdown has link syntax that can 
work like this:

[Highlighted link text][LABEL]

then later in the file

[LABEL]: [http://www.somedomain.com/appropriate.html]


I've gotten burned twice now when I renamed an internal file
and missed one of the other files that linked to it.

I'm trying find a means to put the label resolution into
a single sitewide file. So that when I change
30_Inventory.tt2 to Inventory.tt2 I don't have to chase every 
link on the place, but can change it once.

(It was originally named that way so that it would appear in
the right order in the menu.  I have a better way now.)

I've looked at CMS, and I'm daunted.  CMS is for sites with 
thousands and thousands of pages.  I have 1 page per species, one
page per genus, and a bunch of support pages.  My page count 
probably won't get up above 200.  My link count will increase a 
lot as I cross index the site.

So far TT2+Markdown has been a win-win, except for this cross 
link problem.  When Markdown doesn't find a reference for LABEL
it just prints the line as if it were text.  So I can probably
write a post-process script fairly easily that does this.
