Page linking is a method of giving a teletext decoder details of several
pages that are connected with, or logically follow on from, the currently
selected page. In this way, pages can be "pre-grabbed" in anticipation of
their being requested for display, thus eliminating waiting time. The
links can also be used by intelligent decoders to follow a logical
sequence made up of several teletext pages. The page link information can
be different for every single teletext page, and is decided upon by the
teletext editors. Getting at this information is not as easy as it may
seem at first glance...

Advanced Teletext System.  5

(c) J.J.Brayshaw 1987

Page Links:

Amongst the additional information transmitted with each teletext page
(i.e. other than the displayable text) are a series of 'page links'.

Some of these links are being used to form the new FLOF or FASTEXT system.
This allows a teletext decoder to grab a series of pages the reader is
likely to require, and store them in memory. When the user calls up one of
these pages it can be displayed instantly from memory rather than having
to wait for the page to be re-broadcast.

Although FLOF is a very new idea for teletext televisions, the system has
been available for many years to BBC Micro teletext adapter owners.

FLOF (Full Level One Facilities)has been re-named FASTEXT by at least one
teletext tv set manufacturer. Sets are now being produced that use the
first four links, and allocate them to four colour-coded buttons. Each
page has its own set of associated page links, so after a page has been
requested and displayed, its page link settings are interpreted and
allocated to the coloured buttons. Whether the user requires them or not,
the linked pages will be received when transmitted, then stored in
anticipation of their being requested for display.

The pages pointed to by these links are decided by the teletext editors
and cannot be altered by the user. When another page is requested (be it
one of the linked pages or not), the page memory is cleared then replaced
by the set of pages pointed to by the new display. The teletext editors
may also add an extra row of text to each page explaining where each of
the four links will take the viewer to. This 'prompt' row is row 24, and
cannot be displayed by non-flof teletext sets. It ususally consists simply

of keywords in colours directly relating to the coloured buttons (red,
green, yellow and blue). This row, however, is for information only and
does not carry the links themselves.

Although FLOF only requires four links to be transmitted, each page can,
in fact, carry up to 24 links. These are currently used for the following
purposes:

Link 0 - Red key FLOF page link
Link 1 - Green key FLOF page link
Link 2 - Yellow key FLOF page link
Link 3 - Blue key FLOF page link
Link 4 - Points to machine-readable page
Link 5 - Points to the index page
Links 6 to 23 - not defined

The page links themselves are carried on packet 27 of each page. (Teletext
rows are more correctly referred to as 'packets'). This packet does not
follow exactly the same rules as all the other rows of a page. Packet 27
is not for display. Not only is there no space on the screen to display
it, there are no meaningful displayable characters in the row.

Normally, sufficient information can be carried on just one packet 27 for
most purposes. The page CRC is included in this packet, as are the first
six page links. Other information is also incorporated which will be
discussed in future modules.

If more than six page links are to be transmitted per page, then
additional packet 27's must be broadcast to carry them. Each packet 27 can
include six page links, and so for the maximum of 24 page links, a total
of four packet 27's will be required. The specification does not allow for
more than this quantity to be broadcast.

It is vital, therefore, that a decoder can identify each different packet
27 uniquely. As with other packets in the page, packet 27 starts with a
byte giving the magazine number, followed by a byte giving the row number
(in this case 27). There then follows a packet 27 identifying byte. It is
very important that this byte is received correctly, therefore it is
transmitted using a code that allows intelligent receivers to check and
even correct simple reception errors. The system of coding used is called
'Hamming', named after the man who invented the principle (Mr. Hamming).

The ATS offers a simple to use routine to decode any Hamming-coded byte.
Once decoded, the identity byte for packet 27 is in the range 0 to 3.
Links 0 to 5 are given in packet 27/0, links 6 to 11 in packet 27/1, links
12 to 17 in packet 27/2 and links 18 to 23 in packet 27/3. We need to
decode the packet 27 identifier to determine which set of links are in
each particular packet.

Before examining the page link structure, it should be noted that teletext
page numbers are only two digits long, not three. The initial digit of any
requested page is actually the magazine number and not the page number.
Therefore page 701 is page 1 of magazine 7. It also helps to remember that
page and sub-page numbers are actually calculated and quoted in hex. i.e.
page 131 is really page &31 of magazine &1.

The coding of each link is unusually complex. It consists of six bytes,
each Hamming coded for reliability. These bytes are in groups, starting at
the fourth byte of the packet (byte 3). When bytes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are
de-Hammed, they produce 6 four-bit numbers. The first two give the page
number of the link, least significant digit first, each number producing a
single hex digit. For example, if byte 3 de-Hammed to &6, and byte 4
de-Hammed to &1, the page link is pointing to page 16. We do not, as yet,
know which magazine though!

The next four bytes give the sub-page number, but are not so easy to
interpret as they are also used to calculate the magazine number. We need
to ignore some individual bits of two of these bytes. Byte 5 (the first
one of the sub-page coding digits) gives the last digit of the sub-page
number. No alteration, other than de-Hamming, is needed. If, for example,
this decodes to &6, the sub-page number pointed to is ???6 (the first
three digits not yet being known).

The next digit (de-Hammed byte 6) must have the top bit cleared before
being used as the third digit of the sub-code. (We need to look at this
top bit later to help determine the magazine number.) We can achieve this
by ANDing the de-Hammed byte with 7. For example, if this byte de-Hamms to
&1, then the third digit of the sub-page reference is (&1 AND 7), which is
&1. We now have a sub-page reference of ??16.

The next byte (byte 7) needs no such manipulation, and therefore de-Hamms
to be the second sub-page digit. If this de-Hamms to &4 then our example
sub-page coding becomes ?416.

More complications arise in decoding the next byte. In this case, both the
top two bits are used to form the magazine number, and therefore must be
ignored in the sub-page coding. This can be achieved by ANDing the
de-Hammed byte (byte 8) with 3. If the de-Hammed byte is, for example &E,
then this remaining digit in the sub-page code becomes (&E AND 3) which is
&2. Our example sub-page code is now complete as 2416. The link has so far
decoded to page 16, sub-page 2416. All that now remains is to find the
magazine number, and we will have the complete decoded link setting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The magazine number is even more complicated to decode! We need to look at
the bits we discarded earlier (the top bit of byte 6, and the top two bits
of byte 8) and the magazine number from which the current page has been
taken.

First, take the three bits in question and form a single three-bit number.
This is done by using bit 3 of byte 6 as the least significant bit of the
new number, bit 2 of byte 8 as the next bit, then bit 3 of byte 8 as the
most significant bit:

Fig 2: Use of bytes 6 and 8:
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   Packet 27:               BYTE 8                   BYTE 6
   Bits:              Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0      Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0
                       |    |                   |
   New number:        Bit2 Bit1                Bit0
   ----------------------------------------------------------------

Next, this 3-bit number should be EOR'd with the magazine number of the
current page.

The whole process can be carried out using a single formula such as:

mag%=(((<byte8>AND12)DIV2)OR(<byte6)DIV8))EOR(<current magazine number>)

To find the current page's magazine number, take the left-hand digit of
the currently selected page, or take the first byte from any packet of the
page.

The page link coding is included in packet 27 as chunks of six bytes,
starting at byte 3. Therefore for the second page link, look at bytes 9 to
14; the third - bytes 15 to 20; etc. As each packet 27 contains six page
links, the seventh link (link number six) can be calculated from packet
27/1, bytes 3 to 8, and so on.

 Byte:     0   1     2     3 4 5 6 7 8    9 10 11 12 13 14  ...  39  40 41

         --------------------------------------------------/   /----------

If, after decoding, the page number of the link is &FF, this signifies the
link is not being used. If any of the four packet 27's are not
transmitted, the relevant page links can be assumed also to be not in use.

It is important to remember that you must use *DATA and not *TRANSFER in
order to transfer packet numbers greater than 23 into memory.

As three bits from the sub-page code bytes are used for other purposes, it
can be seen that the maximum value possible for a sub-page code is &3F7F.
If the link's sub-page is decoded as this, it indicates that any sub-page
on the main page number is acceptable. It should not try to find sub-page
3F7F!

Page links are used extensively for telesoftware purposes. Any
telesoftware decoder should follow link 0 from each sub-page to find the
next block in the series. This is not necessarily on the same main page.
If the file is an ordered file, the sub-page reference of link zero should
also be followed, otherwise just the main page reference is used. In this
way, a telesoftware file can start on one page and continue on a different
page!
__________________________________________________________________________

The program accompanying this text will request the teletext channel, page
number and link setting required. When loaded, the page is interrogated
for the appropriate packet 27. The link setting is decoded and presented
on screen. Pressing <SPACE> will call the link decoding routine 24 times,
once for each possible link. All the links will be decoded then shown on
screen. If the message "not given" appears, this indicates the appropriate
packet 27 was found but the link was undefined (i.e. set to &FF). If the
message "not present" is shown, the appropriate packet 27 was not
received.

All 24 links have been set for this week only on page 700, to enable you
to test the link decoding software.
