Books

The book content type is suited for creating structured, multi-page hypertexts such as site resource guides, manuals, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). It permits a document to have chapters, sections, subsections, etc. A book may be collaborative, but doesn't have to be. Authors with suitable permissions can add or edit pages in a book, and can arrange and re-order pages within the existing document.

Books have additional navigation elements at the bottom of each page for moving through the text, the previous, up, and next links. The previous and next links will be printed as the titles of the previous and next nodes in the book. Additional navigation may be provided by enabling the book navigation block.

Users can select the printer-friendly version link visible at the bottom of a book page to generate a printer-friendly display of the page and all of its subsections.

Administrators can view a book outline, from which is it possible to change the titles of sections, and their weight (thus reordering sections). From this outline, it is also possible to edit and/or delete book pages. Many content types besides pages (for example, blog entries, stories, and polls) can be added to a book by choosing the outline tab when viewing the post.

You can:

  • create new book pages: create content >> book page
  • administer individual books (choose a book from list): administer >> books
