lexiCan offers you the possibility to structure your project, i.e. to superordinate and subordinate articles. If necessary, articles can be subordinated several times in order to make them and their contents available in several outline strands without having to duplicate them.

The hierarchy of the articles is shown in the Outline in the Navigation, e.g.

In the Context Pane of an article, a sub-area "Outline" is available. This is in turn subdivided into "Superior" and "Subordinate".

To subordinate an article to another item click on "Add" in the "Superior" area. lexiCan then opens a dialogue window. Use the different views "History", "Index", "Outline" and "Favorites" to select the article that is to be super ordinate to the currently opened article. Multiple selection is possible by holding down the control key, e.g.

Alternatively, you can insert articles directly from the Index and Outline navigation areas using drag'n drop.

The procedure for superordinating an article by defining the subordinate articles works in the same way via the "Subordinate" field.

Changes made in this way have an immediate effect on the Outline in the navigation.

To remove sub ordinations or super ordinations of an item, use the right mouse button.
