opens in a separate page. This thus allows you to open many different
documents at the same time to facilitate simultaneous study. When you want
to close a law, minimize it or change its shape, then use the usual webpage
buttons in the upper right corner of the page, or the double-arrow cursor
on the edge on the edge of the page to do so. This then allows you to also
arrange the laws on your screen however is most convenient for you.
