2.2.2.5)  Generalization

description: When a user selects the category, the address is evaluated. The category the address points to is loaded and displayed in the browser. This looks just like a simple reference, yet there are some differences:
  • the category is only shown when the user was not just there
  • the category is shown in a such a way as to let users know it is a generalization.
The number indicates that the category should only be shown when the user was not there that number of steps earlier. The default number is 1.

Generalizations should be used for categories that are not technically subcategories, but nonetheless useful for quick navigation. Ofcourse they are not useful when the user was just there, in which case they are not shown at all.

format:
<category name> "<-" [number] <address>
example:
   commodore 64
     /emulation
        /c64 emulators
        /emulation <- 2 emulation.dii
   %
