Adding links to online writing makes the work non-linear. If the writing is more like an outline than adding links can add more details without adding visual weight to what has been said. Links should not interrupt the text; they should go with the flow of the writing and unlike headlines should not break up what is being said. The links used on a page should only create [[Relevance and Support|relevant support]] not extra reading for the user to navigate through. | Adding links to online writing makes the work non-linear.
