Use of lists. Lists prove useful in organizing text for quick skimming and higher readability. They are particularly useful for categorizing content. This is shown both at the top of the HCI project page and the top of the top of this page. Lists save space over categorizing content with graphical cues such as icons or buttons as well as over a framed organization method.
Lists go hand in hand with the use of minimal links.
By avoiding the common technique of the use of icons, image maps or button bars, links within text save on bandwidth. This is best done without any cue but the highlighted text of the link itself. This fuses the common form of essay formatting with that of journal article formatting. The header indicates the current topic of the page, or by remaining the same as other pages indicates a page's concatination with the topics on the other pages. The text itself is not in columns because CRTs do not offer a resolution that would make reading shorter lines comfortable for the reader.
