Literary notes about Append (AI summary)

The term “append” is used to denote the act of attaching additional content to a primary text, serving either to supplement, clarify, or contextualize what has been presented. In many works, it signals that the author is adding clarifications or supportive material—ranging from a corollary that elaborates an argument [1] to a diagram or a plan that visually reinforces a point [2]. In narrative fiction as well as scholarly discourse, writers employ “append” to introduce letters, signatures, or other informational inserts that either seal a document or guide the reader to further details [3], [4]. Moreover, in technical and online instructions, the word is often used to indicate a method for marking or linking to specific parts of the text [5], underscoring its versatile role across genres.
