HTML does not really support this concept, but some people try to
emulate it.  HTML only supports so-called "pages", and does not
further distinguish between related and non-related "pages".  But
nevertheless, some people have ideas to express that need to be
expressed on more than one page.  Then they will create navigation
bars giving a "next" and a "previous" button, plus "up" and perhaps
"table of contents".

It would be most convenient if several such pages could be bundled to
become a "document" such that it is possible to search, say, the
whole document at once.  Now, if a book is put online on 534 pages,
you have to use Ctrl-F (find) 534 times and click the next button 533
times to search for a string in the whole book.
