PerlPoint layouts allow to use navigation references, like in this demo: each page has a navigation bar with links to the next and the previous page.
</P>


<P>
If a title of a talk is very long, the resulting navigation bars can look a little bit misdesigned. In this case one can declare a <I><A name="index_37_317"></A>short title</I> version by adding a <CODE><A name="index_37_318"></A>talk.short</CODE> file to the talk <A name="index_37_319"></A>directory (where <CODE><A name="index_37_320"></A>talk.pp</CODE> is located). This file should contain the short title version in its first line.

<P>
This feature works for <I>all</I> levels of the <A name="index_37_321"></A>directory structure - files need to be named level specific like <CODE><A name="index_37_322"></A>style.short</CODE>, <CODE><A name="index_37_323"></A>author.short</CODE> etc. -  but most likely the talk level is the one where it is mostly required.
