scroll up a screen scroll down a screen scroll to a relative location within the page scroll left a screen scroll right a screen scroll to a relative location within the page One common use of links is in a table of contents, whereby it is
handy for each item in the table of contents to be a link to its
content so that you can simply follow an item to jump to the content.
This is much easier than having to search for the page or location
where the content starts.
Usually, a textual link has a visual indication such as a
dotted underline to indicate that it is a link. But it is
possible for a link to not have any such indication if the
author styled it as such.
This allows you to easily jump back to recent jump points. If you have
jumped anywhere, then the location bar shows a left-pointing arrowhead
to indicate that you can jump back to the last location from where you
made the jump. You jump
backward by using the Back
menu command in the Marks sub-menu of the Menu.
In addition to being able to jump back, you can also jump forward
back to the location from where you made a return jump. You jump
forward by using the Forward
menu command in the Marks sub-menu of the Menu.
If you have jumped back from anywhere, then the location bar shows
a right-pointing arrowhead to indicate that you can jump forward.
You can clear the jump history by selecting
Clear history from the
More sub-menu of the Marks sub-menu of the Menu. iSilo™
saves the jump history across document closes and opens.
Note that this saved information does not
include the history of jumps to external documents.
Note: For documents in the Doc format, only local and
document bookmarks are supported. Documents in iSilo™
format support all three bookmark types. All other document types
only support local bookmarks.
Tap in the area above the scroll car to scroll up a screen.
By default, when you scroll up a screen, if the current first line
is partially displayed, it becomes fully displayed as the last line
after the scroll. Otherwise, the line above it becomes the last line
after the scroll. This behavior is called full with text align.
You can use the Scroll
page of the Options dialog to change the screen up behavior.
Tap in the area below the scroll car to scroll down a screen.
By default, when you scroll down a screen, if the current last line
is partially displayed, it becomes fully displayed as the first line
after the scroll. Otherwise, the line below it becomes the first line
after the scroll. This behavior is called full with text align.
You can use the Scroll
page of the Options dialog to change the screen down behavior.
The scroll car is the rectangle that shows the size
and location of the currently displayed content relative to the
current page. You can drag the scroll car to scroll
to the content at a relative location within the page.
the horizontal scroll bar
The horizontal scroll bar allows three different scroll operations:
The horizontal scroll bar does not appear unless there is content
on the page wider than the width of the view area.
Tap in the area to the left of the scroll car to scroll left a distance
equal to about 95% of the view area width.
Tap in the area to the right of the scroll car to scroll right a distance
equal to about 95% of the view area width.
The scroll car is the rectangle that shows the width
and location of the currently displayed content relative to the
maximum width of the content on the current page. You can drag
the scroll car to scroll the content horizontally.
drag scrolling
By default, you can drag across the screen to scroll
the content in the direction that you drag.
links
Links, also known as hyperlinks, are words or images in
the content of the document that you can follow to jump to the
target of the link. The item you follow is also known as
the link's source. In a well-designed document, the
author will have interspersed relevant links throughout the
content of the document so that the person viewing the document
can easily jump to other relevant or interesting parts of the
document.
following a link
To jump to the target of a link, hold down on the
link until it highlights and then release within the
bounds of the highlight. If you release outside the
bounds of the highlight, you do not jump to the link's target.
Jumping to the target of the link is also known as following
the link.
returning from a link
Whenever you follow a link, iSilo™ adds the location
of the link's source to the
jump history. So after you follow a link and are done
reading the content at the link's target, you can immediately
return to the location from where you followed the link and
continue reading from where you left off there.
Select Menu > Marks > Back to jump back.
jump history
iSilo™ keeps track of jumps you have made
using any of the following methods:
For each such jump, iSilo™ remembers the point from where
you made the jump. It can remember up to 16 jumps within
a given document and up to eight jumps to external documents.
bookmarks
A bookmark marks a location in a document and has an
associated name. You can mark various locations within a
document with bookmarks and easily jump to any of those locations
at any time simply by selecting the desired bookmark from a
list. Some documents may also already have predefined bookmarks.
adding a bookmark
Use the Add bookmark
command on the More sub-menu of the Marks sub-menu of the Menu
to activate the Add Bookmark dialog to set a bookmark at the current
location. See bookmark types for a
description of the types of bookmarks you can add to a document.
going to a bookmark
If the document has one or more bookmarks defined, you can use the
Bookmarks command on the
Marks sub-menu of the Menu menu to display a list of
bookmarks in the current document. Select a bookmark to go to the
location that it marks.
editing bookmarks
You can rename, delete, and re-order the bookmarks in a document
by using the Edit bookmarks
command on the Marks sub-menu of the Menus menu.
bookmark types
Bookmarks come in three types as described here:
marks
While bookmarks provide a method for
associating a name with a location in a document, marks
provide additional methods for going to specific locations
in a document.
unnamed mark
While viewing a document, you can easily mark the current location
with the unnamed mark and return to the marked location at any time
later. The unnamed mark does not require you to enter a name
for it, so it is a quick way to mark the current location.
One situation in which you might want to use it is if you want
to remember your current location before scrolling through the
document to scan for some other information. You can mark
the current location with the unnamed mark, scan for the information,
and then return to the unnamed mark. You can set one unnamed mark
per document.
mark location
To mark the current location with the unnamed mark, choose
Mark location from
the Marks sub-menu of the Menu.
