Thing is, the different presentations work with different mechanisms (page composed of overlays or layers, sometimes you have Topics and Subjects, sometimes topics and subjects, and the title is done in a non-consistent way (see section 4.20 in cont-eni.pdf on an explanation).

Therefore, the best way is to look at the sources of the examples and see what happens. Greetings Johannes -- Johannes Hüsing There is something fascinating about science.
