Yes, I entered some special code which specifically recognizes the Red Hare and marks it red. I added him because I'm working on a special side project which will allow searching and filtering of the novel. Character names and such are highlighted and given links, and I wanted things like the Red Hare to have an entry as well. And besides, featuring information on things like this seems like a marvelous idea!
If you would like to start entering information for other horses, or for other various entries, please go ahead. It would be nice for everyone to have this information available. The Dilu Horse is the next one that deserves recognition in the novel.
I was also thinking, as I read through the novel, about special historic mentions such as Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Wang Mang, etc. People reading the novel will likely want to learn about them as well. Previously we've kept the encyclopedia limited specifically to Three Kingdoms people are closely related (e.g. Liu Bei's important ancestors) but perhaps we should consider expanding that blanket to include historic character which are frequently referenced and discussed in the novel?
