Well, it's often used on Hebrew or Arabic web sites. Also on web sites where the webmaster is into substance abuse - such as the site you pointed out.

Yes, it is and the pronounciation is the same as "top", not "fool", in case the assembler is speech-based. :)

You actually see that a lot with GNU/OSS/GPL-ish documentation. My guess is that the tools used to generate the output of the documentation are responsible for the navigation elements. FWIW, I hate it as well! :mad: I much rather a single large HTML document myself - I hate having to click back and forth trying to remember something I read a few "pages" ago... Also makes offline viewing easier; it is a royal PITA to have to assemble those single pages into a single document just to be able to print something I can read while traveling. Peace!

Quite a bit of open sauce documentation does this.

The tigress is here :-D

kakan

:doh: You are right. But according to wiki[^], it can be noop as well. But nop is more common.

Hmm, I wonder if the author of the tools was Israeli or from one of the Arab countries. I see this a lot at the office (here in Israel) when my coworkers write in English, they still look at it right-to-left. That is, they staple the pages together on the top right, and so on. Very annoying.

Marcus J Smith

Ex-green screen users still have issues with scrolling so people have carried that over into web development, that is why you see all the paging instead of just a long document.

I see this discussion is to crazy for words. I am Dutch and my Englisch is not too good when I write. So thanks for all the support on decrypt my spelling. And now we know that you can write nop, noop or noob.
