A productivity tool of KSCEDirectional links provide a structure for systematic navigation in DocAda Light, such as the following (where each choice would be a link, not shown here):
Prev | Up | Next | Back | Forward
If you are using a graphical browser, you will see the following equivalent menu of icons:
| 
| 
| 
| 
The first three choices ("Prev," "Up," and "Next") will only appear when appropriate, and the next two ("Back" and "Forward") are always available. Their exact meaning depends on the context of the page in which they appear, as explained below.
This icon is a link to the previous
Reference Manual section, annex, clause or subclause,
depending on where you are and if there is a previous one.
For instance,
in section 3, "Declarations and Types," is a
link to section 2, "Lexical Elements," and in
subclause 12.5.2, "Formal Scalar Types,"
it is a link to subclause 12.5.1, "Formal
Private and Derived Types."
If there is no previous item, as in section 1, "General",
the icon is inactive and looks like this:
.
This icon is a link to the next
Reference Manual section, annex, clause or subclause,
depending on where you are and if there is a next one.
For instance,
in section 3, "Declarations and Types," is a
link to section 4, "Names and Expression," and
in subclause 12.5.2, "Formal Scalar
Types," it is a link to subclause
12.5.3, "Formal Array Types."
If there is no next item, the icon is inactive and looks like this:
.
This icon is a link to the enclosing
Reference Manual section, annex or clause,
depending on where you are.
In sections and annexes,
it is a link to the corresponding document's table of contents.
For instance, in
section 3, "Declarations and Types," is a
link to the TOC -- but in
subclause 12.5.2, "Formal Scalar Types,"
it is a link to clause 12.5, "Formal Types,"
where it is a link to section 12, "Generic Units."
This icon is a back link to the preceding page,
as if browsing a sequential version of the document similar to the paper version,
except that DocAda hypertext "pages" are logical units as listed
in the tables of contents, not artifacts of a particular paper presentation.
For instance, in
section 3, "Declarations and Types," is a
link to clause 2.9, "Reserved Words," and
in subclause 12.5.2, "Formal Scalar
Types," it is a link to subclause
12.5.1, "Formal Private and Derived Types," where it is a link to
clause 12.5, "Formal Types," where it is a
link to clause 12.4, "Formal Objects"
(which has no subclause).
This icon is a forward link to the following page,
achieving the inverse "sequential version" effect of back links.
For instance, in
section 3, "Declarations and Types," is a
link to clause 3.1, "Declarations," and
in subclause 12.5.3, "Formal Array
Types," it is a link to subclause
12.5.4, "Formal Access Types," where it is a link to
clause 12.6, "Formal Subprograms."
