Basic Design
Here is how the pages are arranged:
Display codes. Pages on the site are arranged according to a convenient system where a display code shows where a page is placed on the Site Map. The code is simply three numbers that normally appear on the upper left of a page, and with numbers separated by two markers.
Example: 1 › 1 › 2 shows a page that appears in the Site Map's archive 1, its section 1, and is work no. 2 there. [SEE THE SITE MAP PLACEMENT] - [SEE THE PAGE]
Close by a page's display key (its three numbers) there is a set of text links to assist navigation; and in some cases links to on-site dictionaries. If you click on 'Set', 'Section', 'Queries', and 'Search' below, you see how it works, bearing in mind here are many Sets and Sections.
- Set
- takes you to a cluster (set, group) of topically related pages, or quite similar pages. [Click on "Set" for an example.] The Front Page brings a list of the sets that are rigged up, and invites to a round tour through them. To get to that survey, click on the picture in the top left corner.
- Section
- takes you straightway to the archive section where the page is placed in the Site Map, if you would like to see what other pages are put nearby it there. Alternatively there is a clickable Pharaoh for 'Section' while the site is remade.
- Queries
- You get to the top of the Site Map by clicking on 'Queries' or 'Site Queries' [left]. And if you want to learn about the site, 'Queries' brings in view some links to explore.
- Search
- is for site searches and offers links to a selection of dictionaries and so on.
A dot, 
, put next to a page title on the Site Map and page sets, shows the page in question is a collection.
If you want more tips on site handling, to see what's new on the site, and survey what is in our User's Guide, the top left of the Site Map offers information. 'Queries' takes you there straight away.
In-Text Icons
In the text there are various icons. Some such markers - notably pink 1, 2, and 3 numbers - show three levels and steps of a discourse. Such markers (icons) probably help reading and thereby learning with some ease. [ESSAY MARKERS] [ESSAY DESIGN]
Here and there are quotation signs too - they are small pictures that in part help identify the source of the quotation. A Buddhist quotation may serve as an example:
Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men [Dhammapada 78].
The icon is a wheel with eight spokes, which represents the eightfold path, also called the (gentle) Middle Way, which is the heart of Buddhism.
Linking
On some pages you may find two markers:
for links to pages on the site, and 
for outgoing links.
On most pages today it is [LINK] to pages within the site and [Link] for outgoing links that open in separate windows, and [▾Link] for outgoing links that will not open in separate windows.
TIP: Keep your mouse still a bit (let it hover) on a [Link] to see where it leads to.
Bottom Lines
At the bottom or rear of a page there could be a list of the literature made use of or referred to on the page. If such list is missing, incomplete, or you want to look into more along such lines, click Literature there. That link gives access to some thousand book references. You get to the bibliography from the 'User's Guide' too.
There may be other links at bottom too, and notes, as the case may be.
On some pages there is a text link to the site's 'User's Guide', and on most pages there is a disclaimer and a link to the site owner's e-mail address, and some more vital information.
