# This is the first topic
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<!--Writerside adds this topic when you create a new documentation project.
|
|||
|
|
You can use it as a sandbox to play with Writerside features, and remove it from the TOC when you don't need it anymore.
|
|||
|
|
If you want to re-add it for your experiments, click + to create a new topic, choose Topic from Template, and select the
|
|||
|
|
"Starter" template.-->
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Add new topics
|
|||
|
|
You can create empty topics, or choose a template for different types of content that contains some boilerplate structure to help you get started:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
{ border-effect="line" thumbnail="true" width="321"}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Write content
|
|||
|
|
%product% supports two types of markup: Markdown and XML.
|
|||
|
|
When you create a new help article, you can choose between two topic types, but this doesn't mean you have to stick to a single format.
|
|||
|
|
You can author content in Markdown and extend it with semantic attributes or inject entire XML elements.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example, this is how you inject a procedure:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<procedure title="Inject a procedure" id="inject-a-procedure">
|
|||
|
|
<step>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Start typing <code>procedure</code> and select a procedure type from the completion suggestions:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<img src="completion_procedure.png" alt="completion suggestions for procedure" border-effect="line"/>
|
|||
|
|
</step>
|
|||
|
|
<step>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Press <shortcut>Tab</shortcut> or <shortcut>Enter</shortcut> to insert the markup.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</step>
|
|||
|
|
</procedure>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Add interactive elements
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Tabs
|
|||
|
|
To add switchable content, use tabs (start typing `tabs` on a new line).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<tabs>
|
|||
|
|
<tab title="Markdown">
|
|||
|
|
<code-block lang="plain text">{ width=450 }</code-block>
|
|||
|
|
</tab>
|
|||
|
|
<tab title="Semantic markup">
|
|||
|
|
<code-block lang="xml">
|
|||
|
|
<![CDATA[<img src="new_topic_options.png" alt="Alt text" width="450px"/>]]></code-block>
|
|||
|
|
</tab>
|
|||
|
|
</tabs>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Collapsible blocks
|
|||
|
|
Besides injecting entire XML elements, you can use attributes to configure the behavior of certain elements.
|
|||
|
|
For example, you can collapse a chapter that contains non-essential information like this:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Supplementary info {collapsible="true"}
|
|||
|
|
Content under such header will be collapsed by default, but you can modify the behavior by adding the following attribute:
|
|||
|
|
`default-state="expanded"`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Convert selection to XML
|
|||
|
|
If you need to extend an element with more functions, you can convert selected content from Markdown to semantic markup.
|
|||
|
|
For example, if you want to merge cells in a table, it's much easier to convert it to XML than do this in Markdown.
|
|||
|
|
Position the caret anywhere in the table and press <shortcut>Alt+Enter</shortcut>:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<img src="convert_table_to_xml.png" alt="Convert table to XML" width="706" border-effect="line"/>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
