Stepping Through Items Sequentially

Sometimes, when you're on an item page, you want to have "next item" and "previous item" links.

Next and previous have meaning, of course, only in the context of a particular selection and sorting of items.

To make it easy to generate these links, we've added two new WebvantaScript statements:

<w:kb:item:next [conditions] > 
<w:kb:item:previous [conditions] >

These must be used in an item context, so the system knows what the "current" item is. The conditions must be specified identically as in the item:each iterator that defines the sequence in which you want to move backward and forward.
