Re: [platform-doc-dev] back from previous topic/next topic 
Looks like these were already fixed up by Joe.

We used to have back/next icons on each page of getting started in 2.0. 
They were removed since we felt they added too much clutter, they were not 
applied consistently (e.g. JDT did not have them) and they are onerous to 
maintain.  Next/Previous topic is a function that should be provided by 
the Help facility, not by content authors.  I've entered a feature request 
for this (bug 35730).

The pages you mention should have the arrows removed to be consistent with 
the rest. 
I'll fix them up if nobody objects.

I miss some easy way of going to the previous/next page in the user docs 
(I don't a tree to navigate step-by-step tutorials). But to my surprise, I 
found two pages that have the back/next icons: 

org.eclipse.platform.doc.user\gettingStarted\qs-85a_ant_view.htm 

and 

org.eclipse.platform.doc.user\gettingStarted\qs-97_standalone_ets.htm 

Are we going to add them later, are these special cases, or should them be 
fixed to follow the "no-navigation-buttons" guidelines?
