+# Alias Mod
+Enable Alias cards, which alias one simple card name to another.
+
+The primary use case for alias cards is for handling redirects, for example after a card 
+has been renamed. Suppose, for example, a card's name is changed from *Former* to
+*Current*. One can create an Alias card named "Former" with the content "Current". This
+not only insures that links to /Former will be redirected to /Current, but it also 
+handles all descendants, redirecting /Former+field to /Current+field and /My+Former+Life
+to /My+Current+Life.
+
+Alias cards themselves must be simple cards and are not allowed to have children.
+
+If a request to an alias specifies a view, eg `/Former?view=edit`, then the request
+will not be redirected and will instead return the view of the Alias card itself. 
+Similarly, transactional requests (create, update, and delete) to the alias card
+will take effect on the alias, not the target.
+
+## Cards with codenames
+
+| codename | default name | purpose |
+|:--------:|:------------:|:-------:|
+| :alias | Alias | Cardtype of aliases |
+
+## Sets with code rules
+
+### {Card::Set::Type::Alias type: Alias}
+An alias card's name is the alias's *source*, and its content is its target. So, in the 
+example above, the Alias card would be named *Former* and its content would be *Current*.
+
+Content is stored as a card id.
+
+#### Events
+
+| event name | when | purpose |
+|:---------:|:------:|:-------:|
+| validate_alias_source | on save | ensures name is simple and card has no children |
+| validate_alias_target | on save | ensures target is existing simple card |
+
+### {Card::Set::All::Alias All}
+
+#### Events
+
+| event name | when | purpose |
+|:---------:|:------:|:-------:|
+| create_alias_upon_rename | triggered | creates an alias from old name to new one |
+
+
+#### HtmlFormat
+Extends `#edit_name_buttons` so that when renaming, user is presented with a checkbox 
+to trigger the creation of an alias
+
+### {Card::Set::AllPlus::Alias All Plus}
+Handle aliasing of compound names when at least one name part is an alias.
+
+#### Events
+
+| event name | when | purpose |
+|:---------:|:------:|:-------:|
+| validate_not_alias | on save | prevents creation of deescendents of aliases |
+
+## {CardController::Aliasing}
+Module that enables card controller to handle alias-driven redirects and ensure that 
+transaction requests act upon the correct card (the alias when simple, the target when
+compound).
