Aha, a lattice. I didn't know. That makes structuring a bit more 
difficult for me. And I think (at least currently) it is also difficult 
for someone who just wants to read something from top to bottom. So 
actually, though it is a lattice, I would like to have an option to 
present the innocent (new) reader a (selected by us) tree structure of 
the information. If this reader got the main ideas from such a 
structured linear text (basically like in a book), he is probably more 
interested in browsing through the whole lattice. But I would like to 
give newcomers a linear view of our information.

Some time ago, I started with thinking about a (handwritten) table of 
contents that tried to impose a structure. I did not come very far since 
I got lost myself in the lattice. And I don't know whether a handwritten 
TOC is good. Basically, it sounds like the LEO idea, but I don't see a 
tool on the wiki that easily lets me combine pages into a new structure. 
My mouse is currently completely useless for such things.
