That is also on the list of WTF, how does that even work. I think that each one will be an individual file, and that I'll have some kind of interesting scripting that assembles them into specific files. Possibly something xml based. Although if that is the case then I really should consider having the review in the file, although then I get to the how to index and how to have paragraphs and and and and. I have so many tabs open to read and think about!
I ran into this problem a couple of decades ago, when I was still doing music reviews. IIRC I never hit upon a perfect solution (actually, I think I had frames, which never, never again!) so I'm always curious how other people will solve review sites.
I have already discarded the idea of iframes. I am, however, contemplating that writing scripts to do boring things like assemble pages the way I want them is something I can do. So, having a master file in xml or csv and then using that as the basis of building pages. So, for example, If I have a column for 'primary author name' and then can generate pages for sets of letters (eventually some letters will have own pages, but, say i-j might only have five between them and that is fine for one page). Similarly, I can have a separate page for the awards, whereby I have columns of year, category, award, work, and then those can be used to assemble the relevant pages. I don't know if I have the web based knowledge to get suitable filters, but I do have the back end ability to just generate All! The! Pages! algorithmically, and assume that I've got it right.
And then I'm going to have to find a show/hide that works. But that is not for now.
