A QandASet is a list consisting of
Questions and Answers.
QandASets can be divided into sections.
Every entry in a QandASet must contain a
Question, but Answers are
optional (some questions have no answers), and may be repeated (some
questions have more than one answer).
Common uses for QandASets include reader
questionnaires and lists of “Frequently Asked Questions”
(FAQs). For the purpose of an
FAQ, DocBook V3.1 added the
FAQ class to Article.
Formatted as a displayed block. The DefaultLabel
attribute has a significant influence on the presentation of
