   RE: DITA FAQ

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

I tested this at http://opendocument.xml.org/editorial-board-instructions.
Three of the questions are book pages, the fourth is a blog I created, then
added to the FAQ.

Would there be merit in reorganizing our FAQ page as a book of nodes and adding
any blog (or forum) questions that could be characterized as frequently asked?

I just discovered a neat way to maintain a FAQ using the Drupal book function.
See the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/23701. 

Basically, you just create an FAQ book within the Knowledge Base. You start by
creating a book page that will be the table of contents. Then, instead of
listing all the Q&As in the body text, like we do now, you create a new book
page for each, with the question as the page title and the answer in the body
text. You select the main FAQ page as the parent, and all the questions will be
listed on that page.

What's really cool is that you can then go to other posts on the site, like the
questions people put in the blog section, select the "outline" tab, choose the
FAQ book, and that blog appears as a Q&A in the FAQ.
