[Meta] Add "Next", "Previous" and "Index" links in lessons?

[rgaiacs]

Is painful have to back in the index to change the lesson when reading it in linear form.

Hack Solution to Markdown Lessons

Add some variables in the YAML Front Matter and little changes in the template should solve this problem. I can do this changes this week, just like to know if every agree with it.

Once we don't change the lessons file name a lot it will not be a great problem have such information in the YAML Front Matter.

Is this for the V4 lesson material?

[rgaiacs]

@gvwilson No. V4 is fine. I'm talking about this master branch of this repo (23d9672).

I've had the same thought on several occasions now, so I feel that it's well worth doing if it can be done automatically.

As soon as we close #349 I can find some time to write a PR for this.

It would be nice if was automated enough to easily recover after
adding and removing lessons:

make navigation-links

I'm not sure what the implementation would look like for that though.
This would all be automatic if we were using ReST / Sphinx ;).

[rgaiacs]

Since @gvwilson closed #349 I will try some hacks this weekend to add the links.

[gvwilson]

It's time to get this in...

[rgaiacs]

I'm closing this in favor of #835.
