I encountered 3 different text features on the article about Vasco de Gamo.

2) Headings/subheadings -- The headings & subheadings in this article let me know at a glance where to find information about Vasco de Gamo including where he grew up, information about his first voyage, and information about his later voyage. If I needed to answer specific questions about him, these text features would give me a clue where to find that information.
3) Hyperlinks -- The hyperlinks in this article take me to additional information about Vasco de Gamo including more information about Portugal (the country he grew up in), the country he went to get spices from (India), and it also takes me to more information about knights because his father was a knight.
