+<p>The Symbian user interface uses the tab metaphor that allows combining
+several pages of related information into a single state when all of it would
+not fit into a single screen or list. The user can switch the tabs using the
+Arrow left and Arrow right keys as indicated in the <xref href="GUID-76FD2A71-E8A3-4C82-9704-3F7F6AD4DFD8.dita">Navi
+pane</xref>.</p>

+<p>In this example, state 1-3 uses two tabs to present its information. The
+user moves between views 1-3a and 1-3b using the Arrow left and Arrow right
+keys. Note that there is no Back function moving between the tab views; Back
+from both of them leads to state 1.</p>
+<p>Tab-controlled views apply the following rules:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>A list view from which each of the tabbed views can be accessed should
+precede the tabbed views one level higher. </p></li>
+<li><p>Moving from one tab view to another has no effect on the function of
+the Back softkey in these views: from all of them, the Back function leads
+to the same place, the previous level in the application. In this respect,
+tabbed views are interpreted as one state in the application. </p></li>
+<li><p>When a state has tabbed views, one of them is the default view that
+is opened when the user enters the state from the previous level. </p></li>
+<li><p>When the user has proceeded from a tabbed view into a deeper hierarchy
+level, the Back function returns to the same tabbed view where the user came
+from (which is not necessarily the default view described in the previous
+bullet). </p></li>
+<li><p>The possibilities to go forward from tab views may differ from one
+view to another (although typically they are similar). This means that one
+tab view may have other functions available to the user than another tab view
+in the same state.</p></li>
