Building blocks of a page

Text and structure

Every page is divided into chapters; the contents in the margin are built from them automatically, and every chapter can be linked directly. Terms that need explaining sit in a definition box:

Callouts

Tables

The blocks of this platform and where they are used
Block	What for	In use
Diagram	Workflows and decisions	Modelling processes with BPMN
Sketch	Relationships, drawn freely	BIM fundamentals
Formula	Metrics and calculations	Process metrics
Interactive chart	Simulations and analyses	Opportunity and risk management

Collapsible sections

Background: why collapse?

Derivations, long examples or background wait collapsed. Readers who only need the result read on; those who want the detail expand it. The search also finds collapsed text.

Checklists

Formulas

{TF}_{i} = {LS}_{i} - {ES}_{i}

Total float of an activity i from critical path analysis: activities with zero total float lie on the critical path.^{1, 2}

Diagrams

DiagramFrom the project to the published page: write, review, publish.

Sketches

Not everything is a workflow. For relationships, first ideas or structures there is the sketch, drawn as on a whiteboard:

SketchSpaces, pages and sub-pages

Linking and searching

Pages refer to each other, for example from the process metrics to modelling with BPMN, and every page links the matching service. The search at the top left (or Ctrl K, ⌘ K on a Mac) searches all pages in full text, including tables, diagrams and collapsed sections, and jumps straight to the chapter.

Sources

Where a page uses ideas, models or standards from others, a superscript number marks it, as with the critical path above.¹ It leads to the full reference on the Sources page, which cites every source of the site. Hovering the number shows author and year.
