More elements will be introduced in later chapters of the documentation.

New bindings are regularly added as developers integrate more devices into openHAB.
For each binding, detailed instructions and examples are provided that include guidance on configuration (if any) of the binding itself, the definition of [Things]({{base}}/concepts/things.html) supported by this binding and the Channels these [Things]({{base}}/concepts/things) provide.
In most cases, the description also contains a fully worked out example that includes a definition of [Things]({{base}}/concepts/things) and its Channels, [Items]({{base}}/concepts/items.html) linked to those Channels and the use of these [Items]({{base}}/concepts/items.html) in a sitemap.

@ -169,7 +169,7 @@ Here a short list of the steps that you will need to consider to get openHAB up
1. Add a “channel” to the “thing” if not created by the binding
1. Define an “item”
1. Link the “channel” to your “item”
1. Establish a sitemap
1. Interact with your "item" from a user interface "page"
Most of the above can be done in openHAB through point-and-click processes in a graphical user interface.
But remember, there is always more than one way to achieve your goal in openHAB.
