Κοιλίη, σπλάγχνον πεπτήριον, κάμνει τὴν πέψιν, ὁκότε διάῤῥοια τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἴσχει· καὶ ἔστιν ὑγρῆς τροφῆς ἀπέπτου ἡ διάῤῥοια· ἢν μὴ ἐπὶ σχεδίῳ τῆς αἰτίης γίγνοιτο τόδε ἐς μίαν ἢ δευτέρην ἡμέρην μούνην. Ὅλος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἀσθενέει, ἀτροφίῃ τοῦ σκήνεος, χρονίη νοῦσος ἡ κοιλιακὴ γίγνεται, ἀτονίῃ τοῦ πέψοντος θερμοῦ, καὶ ψύξει τῆς κοιλίης· εὖτε λύεται μὲν ἐς θερμὸν ἡ τροφὴ, ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἐκπέσσει θερμὸν, οὐδὲ ἐς χυμὸν οἰκεῖον τρέπει, ἡμιτελέα δὲ λείπε-

ἀδρανείῃ τοῦ τέλεος· ἡ δὲ ἀφεθεῖσα τῆς ἐργασίης ἐς κακὸν ἀλλοιοῦται καὶ χροιῇ, καὶ ὀδμῇ, καὶ συστάσι. Λευκὴ μὲν γὰρ καὶ ἄχολος ἡ χροιή· κάκοδμα δὲ καὶ βορβορώδεα· ὑγρὴ δὲ καὶ ἀσύστατος ἀπραγίῃ, μούνον δὲ ἀρετὴν ἴσχουσα τῆς πέψιος τὴν ἀρχήν· διὰ τόδε φυσώδεες ἐς τὴν γαστέρα ἐρυγαὶ ξυνεχέες κακώδεες.

Celeres enim, vel acutae passiones, etiam sponte solvuntur, et nunc fortunâ nunc naturâ favente. Quo fit ut ignari homines elati saepe medicos fugiant, et hos proventus incantationibus novis ac ligamentis adscribant, aut fortunae; pelluntur enim (celeres passiones) aut fluore sudoris, aut sanguinis per nares, aut ventris. Chroniae autem, vel tardae passionis morbi, qui jam praejudicio quodam corpora possederint, solius medici peritiam poscunt, cum neque naturâ, neque fortunâ solvantur.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source. This shows editing OurBigBook Markup and publishing it using the Visual Studio Code extension. - Infinitely deep tables of contents:
