When pasting into ChatGPT from Google Sheet “Byteseismic Philosophy”: Three columns from the relevant sections.
I would like you to build an HTML list of blog article links with the hierarchy intact based on the content below. Ensure you return only the HTML specified. Do not use style sheets.
Split the content based on the single digit into three categories: The Article Name, the Hierarchical Level (the single digit), and the Article Name Link. The top-level category has the hierarchy level of “1”.
Create an HTML list. Each item in the list should have the following structure:
1: A “🅿” that has an HTML link constructed as shown in section “#S1” below.
2: A ” | ” that has no HTML link.
3: A link to the article with the Article Name as the displayed name of the link, and the Article Name Link as the HTML link.
#S1: This link will take users to a site that will convert the HTML page into a PDF: The basic URL is “https://www.sejda.com/html-to-pdf?save-link=X”. Replace the “X” with the Article Name Link corresponding to the node. The visible name of the link should be “🅿”. This link should have the same formatting as the article link.
Ensure each nested level decreases by 1pt in font size from the parent level, starting at 13pt for the top-level item. Place an HTML anchor tag in the top-level link that has the category name as in “id=CATEGORY-NAME”. For this anchor tag, convert the top-level category name to ALL CAPS and replace any spaces in that category name with hyphens. Also convert the displayed top-level category name into ALL CAPS.
Add a “text-decoration: none;” style to remove the underline from links. Change the text color of all links to #0577b9.
Add an HTML comment at the end of the HTML list that includes the top-level category name in ALL CAPS, the current date and the number of nested nodes. Create a new line after each HTML unordered list closing tag, but remove all other whitespace.
The top-level category has the hierarchy level of “1”.
Here is the input data for the list:


Phil Stilwell

Phil picked up a BA in Philosophy a couple of decades ago. After his MA in Education, he took a 23-year break from reality in Tokyo. He occasionally teaches philosophy and critical thinking courses in university and industry. He is joined here by ChatGPT, GEMINI, CLAUDE, and occasionally Copilot, Perplexity, and Grok, his far more intelligent AI friends. The seven of them discuss and debate a wide variety of philosophical topics I think you’ll enjoy.

Phil curates the content and guides the discussion, primarily through questions. At times there are disagreements, and you may find the banter interesting.
