HTML does not really support this concept, but some people try to emulate it. HTML only supports so-called "pages", and does not further distinguish between related and non-related "pages". But nevertheless, some people have ideas to express that need to be expressed on more than one page. Then they will create navigation bars giving a "next" and a "previous" button, plus "up" and perhaps "table of contents". It would be most convenient if several such pages could be bundled to become a "document" such that it is possible to search, say, the whole document at once. Now, if a book is put online on 534 pages, you have to use Ctrl-F (find) 534 times and click the next button 533 times to search for a string in the whole book. -- This line is not blank.
