How to easily link a document with others

Question

Let's say that I am writing some text document in word or whatever text editor or online wit google docs, etc. Let's say that at some part of the document I open a new one and extend there the idea. Then later, I go back to the "master" document and add some hyperlink or just put reference (it follows in doc XXXX, page YYYY). I wonder what could be the fastest approach to do this

• google docs adding easily hyperlink? but how can I organize docs effectively?
• some text editor with this functionality?

Thanks for your responses

Answer 1

depend on what you want write I would recommend a wiki (mediawiki for example). For me the important factors are:

• online
• easy to use
• if I want I own it (no external server, software whatever. Just install it on your computer. With lamp and co its really easy)
• you can share your documents. just open the port to your server
• versioncontrol, never loose any data
• easy backups
