Comment: multiple pages in yacs

<< Previous Next >>
Bernard: I understand your concept of sections and sub-sections. It is a good concept and helps to organize material.

However to give you an example at a conceptual level of what I had in mind. If I want to store a published paper of 100 pages, this paper already has its own formating as intended by the author. I cannot break it down into sections and sub-sections to fit into yacs's scheme of things as I have to preserve the existing formating. I would like to have the flexibility to store the entire paper with it's existing formating but break it down into a number of pages. However to have all the numbers 1-100 below the article just takes too much space and is not tidy. I would prefer that only a few numbers be shown as a user moves through the article together with back and forward arrows. Thinking further to navigate better it would also be nice to have a "go to page" box and perhaps even a drop down box with the main headings (use tags) of the article so that a user need not have to search through each page to find the part he wanted. This feature could be activated by an option so it need not be activated by default but only when needed.
