The ITS Team will be performing maintenance on Confluence beginning at 6:00 pm Tuesday, October 8. During this time the service may go offline. It should be available again by 8:00 pm. Please refrain from editing pages during this time to avoid losing your work.
Texts are build in a tree data structure
A text begins with a root node; this root node generally contains the metadata for the text
See the glossary definition of Root Node
Pages are added to this root node; these pages are the children of the root
See the glossary definition of Child Node
Child pages can be added to any page; the page they are added to is the parent page
See the glossary definition of Parent Node
Pages that share the same parent are siblings
See the glossary definition of Sibling Node
A page may have multiple children, but will have only one parent
Pages will be arranged in the text according to the linear order that they appear in the table of contents
For example, see the text contents below:
Main Title
Introduction
Section A
Subsection 1A
Subsection 2A
Conclusion
In the example above:
"Main Title" is the root node
"Introduction," "Section A," "Section B," and "Conclusion" are the children of "Main Title"
"Subsection 1A" and "Subsection 2A" are the children of "Section A"
"Section A" is the parent of "Subsection 1A" and "Subsection 2A"
"Subsection 1A" and "Subsection 2A" are siblings
In the text, the "Main Title" would be the first page, followed by "Introduction," then "Subsection 1A," then "Subsection 2A," then "Conclusion"
