Advantages are:

  • This method is quite simple to use, and builds on using the book creator.
  • It also means that books cannot just be viewed (as a set of wiki pages), but also exported, using the mechanisms provided by the book creator. The pages are thus grouped on the wiki, and can be exported as such.

However, there are a number of disadvantages:

  • While it's easy to edit the book (and thereby the navigation), and this may already be familiar to users, every time the book is saved the <noinclude> statements need to be added again to the book definition, for the navigation to stay properly formatted.
  • It's not possible to add "previous" and "next" navigation to pages.
