World Wide Web pages produced with MTX are clear, consise, and highly functional.
Our page design reflects current consensus and integrates the some of the best
techniques found on the Web today. Certain details are so important that they are
not left up to chance or the whim of the author. This page serves to illustrate
these major structural elements.

#Navigation Links

Context is a tricky issue for hypertext documents. External points of reference,
such as turning the pages of a book, are not available to keep the reader
oriented. One technique for adding context to Web pages is the use of navigation
links. This page, for example, has navigation links at the top and bottom that
integrate it with rest of the MTX User's Manual. No matter how the reader links
to this page, its relationship to the larger work is immediately apparent.

#Page Title and Header

Every page must have a title. The title is used to refer to the page, the name of
a bookmark for example. In many documents the title also appears as the page
heading. By default, MTX uses the title as the top level heading for the page
(<H1> in HTML). You may also specify a logo or icon graphic to complete the
page header.

#Table of Contents

The table of contents is based on the page's major section headings. It gives
readers a quick overview and allows them to jump directly to the section of
interest without scrolling.

#Section Headings

Section headings divide the page into meaningful "chunks" for the reader. They
also serve as the basis for the table of contents discussed above.

#Page Footer

The page footer contains administrative information about the page. In this case
the footer contains the name of the parent document, the date this page was last
updated, a copyright notice, and a contact name. The contact name links to a
"mailto:" URL for direct feedback via email.
