Abstract
You place topics in relation to each other so as to show interrelated and therefore interesting content for the user. The best-known relations in documentation are cross references, which relate content items to each other either within a document or between different documents. A cross reference leads the reader from the current place in the text to other places that the author considers to be related to the current place, to explain the current place better, or to provide further information on the current place. In the electronic world, references are known as links. They are visible as such to the user and occur in different forms.
