Navigation
  • There will be four methods for navigation:
    • CONTENTS - In front, a formal structure of level 1 (section) & level 2 (subsection) headings will be available for choice. (Level 3 headings only when articles exceed one thousand in number).
    • SEARCH - standard facilities.
    • INDEX - alphabetical index (as at the end of a book).
    • CATEGORISATION - Categorisation will form an alternative to structure for navigation. For example, all articles on people will have category "People".
Nesting
  • Nesting of articles is permitted both under level 1 and under level 2 headings. See this for an example.
  • Articles about People will form part of the relevant section they belong to, i.e, Scientists will form part of "Science and Mathematics" section.
