Suppose that you have an installation procedure for a software package that’s that 

Similar in most ways, regardless of the computer type, except for one step. At that point in the linear installation, you could branch out to cover each system, as shown in 

figure2.9

.

After the system-specific part of the installation, you could. Link back to the original branch and continue with the generic installation.

In addition to branching from a linear structure, you could also provide links that enable visitors to skip forward or backward in the chain if they need to review a particular step or if they already unterstand some contend(see figure 2.10)

COMBINATION OF LINEAR AND HIERARCHICAL

A popular form of document organization on the web is a combination of a linear structure and a hierarchical one, as shown in figure 2.11. this structure occurs most often when very structured but linear documents are put online; the popular frequently asked questions (FAQ) files use this structure.
