By tradition, 'next' and 'previous' are context bound, while 'back' and 'forward' is history bound. > b)Below the prev- and next-Link is the name of the previous/next page in > the same color as the clickable link "prev" and "next", but the name isn't > a link. The User gets confused. Plase change the color of that name. It should be a link. Having the text is nice, on a side note I allways found the *tradition* of not showing the title for the next/previous pages in the top of the page strange -- why am i supposed to be more interrested in where 'next' is in the bottom of the page??? A nice link form of the link text would be 'logic-place: title' ("next: Introdoction" etc) > A small third point: What does "home" mean? My home is my castle?

Of cause any docbook generated file contains a link to your home directory... The name 'home' is a tradition too. Maybe 'Front page' would be nicer? >> A small third point: What does "home" mean?

"Home" may be confusing, so "Front page" would be much better. "Contents" seems best. If there's agreement on this, I'll change it in the XSL. There is still Home... (BTW, i do not find it confusing but of course Contents may be more clear...) SVN commit 695365 by philrod:
Use "Contents" instead of "Home" for the links on each doc page
