Help:IGOE

This page is intended to provide some level of assistance in editting IGOE formatted pages.

Page structure
In an attempt to simplify the creation of IGOE formatted pages, included pages have been used heavily. This has the advantage of separating the formatting code from the actual content.

It has an additional advantage of allowing content pages to have two forms:
 * the abbreviated form (for inclusion in the overall IGOE)
 * the expanded form (for when the content is viewed in isolation)

Page templates
To assist in the development of new IGOE pages an IGOE - Template page has been created that can be copied to create a new IGOE.

NB. Because each IGOE includes a number of pages, this template does NOT create all of the included pages. However, as the included pages are only intended to contain the content unique to each IGOE they should be created from scratch.

To use the IGOE - Template to create a new IGOE, simply copy the complete page, by selecting edit. To update links to included pages, it is recommended to use a text editor capable of search & replace. Search for the phrase 'IGOE - Template' & replace with the appropriate name for the new IGOE (eg. 'IGOE - TPPI - Execution').

The only other text within the template that needs to be changed prior to saving the new IGOE is for the title of the central box, and is preceeded by a comment. It can be found by searching for the text 'IGOE Template'.

Adding content to included pages
When a new IGOE is created, none of the included pages will exist. Each of the required pages can be created using the relevant link in the original IGOE page.

Within each included page some text may be hidden from the IGOE, by using the and tags to surround the text. This is helpful for either providing context to the included page (like a comment: This page is intended to be included in the ... IGOE), or to allow additional detail to be provided, without cluttering the IGOE.
