This view is called "clickable" because, as we'll see later, every syntactical element on it is a hyperlink, which you can use for browsing.
After <code>Clickable</code> comes the <code>Flat</code> view button. The layout of the result is similar. The flat form of a class is the reconstructed class text including not only what's declared in the class itself but also everything that it inherits from its ancestors, direct or indirect. This applies to the flat form's features, which include ancestor features, but also to contracts: the flat form's invariant includes all clauses from ancestors' invariants, and the preconditions are expanded to take <code>require else</code> and <code>ensure then</code> clauses into consideration. (The <span> [[An Eiffel Tutorial|Eiffel Tutorial]] </span> explains these notions in detail.)
