Izzys ScratchPad: Demo Files

Demo Files

The minimalist solution

The absolute minimum to use inside an input file is one title block. You will probably never use this -- since a title without content makes no sense. So I will skip that. The example below would just build two topics on the same level, the titles as headers and the text as text blocks (basically this is what this page uses - just with more blocks and more text):

[title]
First topic

[text]
This is the description of the first topic. Many more lines may follow...

[topic]
Second topic

[text]
Some text to the second topic

Simple usage of title levels

In most cases, titles in FAQs have subtitles. In iFAQMaker, these are represented by "levels". To get an idea of what we are talking about: In HTML, you have headers like <H1>, <H2>, and so on. The digit in these tags is what we refer to as level. So the next example constructs a simple page with two main titles, the first containing one subtitle:

[title]
First topic

[text]
This is the description of the first topic. Many more lines may follow...

[topic|2]
First subtopic of the first topic

[text]
Some content for this subtopic

[text]
And some more text in a new paragraph - also for the first subtopic

[topic|2]
Second subtopic of the first topic

[text]
and some text for this second subtopic

[topic]
Second main topic

[text]
Some text to the second topic

Using named references

Now let's go back to the minimalist variant (concerning the block count), add a named reference to the first title, and make use of this in the text of the second title:

[title|1|first]
First topic

[text]
This is the description of the first topic. Many more lines may follow...

[topic]
Second topic

[text]
Some text to the second topic, and a <A HREF="#first">reference</A> to the first block
