Hypertext: Screen design <sum10 1 7>
========================
Size As for file size, I try to use single screen hypertext files for the
==== following reasons:
(1) Smaller units of information are easier to comprehend in
totality (necessary in making choices). <link37>
(2) Multi-screen files require memory and mental effort by users.
(3) Single screen formats require only four keys <link01> for
complete exploration of the hypertext system.
Format As for the screen formats, I use lists to show both the structure
====== of the contained information and to clearly identify the hypertext
jumps. <link32 2>
Jumps As for hypertext jumps, I limit my hypertext jumps to 1-2 per paragraph
===== as any more may interfere with the readability of the text.
Other Finally, I use underlining, margin notes, and indented text to aid
===== readability. However, I don't use other eye-movement tools (such as
lines, boxes, character graphics) in files that users may wish to print.
