How to use the Guidebook

This guidebook is a wholly web-based document which fully utilises the power of hypertext.

There is a core text which follows on page by page. This can be navigated using the text links at the top of each page or by using the "Return to previous page" and "Go to next page" links at the foot of each page.

From within the body of the core text, active links can be followed to pull in supplementary information - Resources. Information accessed in this way is provided on separate pages which are outwith the core text but you can return to the main text by clicking your web browser's "Back" button or (if the supplementary information has opened in a new window) by closing the new window.
