Abstract This is this site's welcome page. It provides some information about the site you happened to land on.

 Welcome

Herbert Glarner welcomes you to his site.

Navigation There are several ways to navigate within this site: The navigation.xml Navigation page links you accordingly.

E-mail If you have comments or questions, you can send me an e-mail (it can be found in the menubox to the left, on any page). However, this was no promise to answer each and every e-mail.

 The Site Transition

Technology All pages on this site were transferred recently from the old server, in which process they were converted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML XHTML to pure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML XML and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Stylesheet_Language XSL . You can easily see a page's XML markup, if you view its source code. There is a xml_manual.xml manual explaining the used XML tags and attributes, and a page discussing the technology used to create this site's formulas_with_xml.xml mathematical expressions with ordinary XML markup.

Missing Pages Looking for that particular page you are certain it was here? It might still be found on the old server. If you need it, drop me a message and I will see what I can do for you.

 Link Symbols

This page uses small graphical symbols heading every link. They indicate the location of the link target, as explained in the following sections. The symbols are part of the link.
External Pages

http://www.example.com External links navigate away from this site. Note, that this site won't ever open a new browser window or tab: it's assumed that you know how to open a link target in a new window or tab if so desired, and also that you know how to use a browser's back button.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example Wikipedia links are also external as above, but given that I refer to Wiki articles quite often, I felt that such links should be given an own icon.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beispiel_%28Rhetorik%29 Wikipedia links in other languages are preceded by the flag of a country in which this language is spoken by a majority. The flag is part of the link.

some.person example.com E-mail links should open your favourite e-mail application and fill in the intended recipient's mail address.

Internal Pages

example.xml Internal links direct you to an other page on this site.

example.xml Previous page links load the previous document of an internal series.

example.xml Next page links load the next document of an internal series.

#C Downward links reposition to a section towards the end of the actual page. This is most often used in notes, as in this one:

All notes on this site are bidirectional. Click the note number to the left in order to return to the position where the note was defined.

#A Upward links reposition to a section towards the top of the actual page.
