You are not thinking "web" here. The "web" way to solve a problem like easy access to "next page" or "different chapters" is to have a "next page" link or have all the chapters as tabs, or something like that. Make the wiki aware of the structure of a book, and make it render these nextpage link / chapters tabs. Web 2.0 is obsolete now, the future is Web 3.5 ( CSS3, HTML5) (-: -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
