Linear text

Linear text refers to the sequential organizational structure of traditional documents. Web documents organized in a strict linear structure provide a single link path up and down through the Web pages. Some linear documentation also includes a link to the "top" of the document, or the "Home" page, from each of the subordinate pages. They do not include links to related documentation outside of the defined path.
