Issue 18252: Please provide running footers or headers indicating the section/subsection of a page (uml25-ftf) Source: NASA (Dr. Nicolas F. Rouquette, nicolas.f.rouquette(at)jpl.nasa.gov) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: The UML 2.5 document has great hyperlink/navigation support. However, since sub-sub-sections are unnumbered, it is sometimes difficult to tell where we are in the document if the sub-section runs across multiple pages. For example, look at sub-section 14.2.3 Semantics. The short title makes sense for the bookmarks but in the document itself, it would be easier if we had: 14.2.3 StateMachines Semantics This particular sub-section runs over several pages and has several sub-sub-sections; e.g. "States" on p. 319. It's hard to tell we're in the middle of 14.2.3. Unfortunately, Acrobat doesn't have a way to highlight the bookmark corresponding to the page we're currently reading. I suggest adding a footer or header with the numbered section or sub-section title to each page. It would be even better if the footer/header were in fact a hyperlink to jump to the beginning of that numbered section/sub-section.
