3.3.3 Control Functions

Control functions provide the ability to zoom into a subset of the hypertext network, forward and backward navigation through the web, provide overview maps, roam and zoom techniques, paths, trails etc. Control actions on a template can include displaying an overview of the template, zooming into specific link sets or webs (or “specific subgraphs”) and looking at the contents of documents.
